Encute

WordPress plugin for fluent management of scripts and styles.

Managing scripts and styles on the front of your site can be tricky. This makes it trivial to do stuff like:

Shove a script (and its entire connected family) into the footer
Defer a script or a style until page load
Load a script async
Mark a script as type="module"
Mark a script as nomodule
Remove some plugin script or style you don't need

Installation

If you're using composer you can composer require markjaquith/encute. Else, install via Git.

Usage

Put this in an mu-plugins drop-in:

<?php

use CWS\Encute\Plugin;
use CWS\Encute\Script;
use CWS\Encute\Style;

add_action(Plugin::class, function (Plugin $encute) {
	$encute->debug(); // Optional: Adds HTML comments to scripts and styles, making it easier to see the handle.

	// Move jQuery to footer and defer its loading.
	Script::get('jquery')->footer()->defer();

	// Move 'some-handle' to the footer.
	Script::get('some-handle')->footer();

	// Defer 'wp-embed'.
	Script::get('wp-embed')->defer();
	
	// Make 'some-module' load as a module.
	Script::get('some-module')->module();
	
	// Make 'nomodule-fallback' load as nomodule.
	Script::get('nomodule-fallback')->noModule();
	
	// Move 'admin-bar' styles to the footer and defer their loading.
	Style::get('admin-bar')->footer()->defer();

	// Move 'wp-block-library' styles to the footer.
	Style::get('wp-block-library')->footer();

	// Keep 'contact-form-7' style on contact page only.
	Style::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf(fn() => is_page('contact'));

	// Remove 'cruft' script on the about page.
	Script::get('cruft')->removeIf(fn() => is_page('about'));
});

API

Initialization

Always run code in this wrapper:

add_action(\CWS\Encute\Plugin::class, function (\CWS\Encute\Plugin $encute) {
	// Your code here.
});

This wrapper will be a no-op if Encute is not available, and it will both wait for Encute to be available to run, and pass you Encute's main class instance.

Fluency

Script::get() and Style::get() return an instance of themselves, as do all calls to their methods, so you can just chain your calls.

Script

static CWS\Encute\Script::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Script — get a Script instance for that handle.
CWS\Encute\Script::module(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script a module.
CWS\Encute\Script::noModule(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script nomodule.
CWS\Encute\Script::footer(): CWS\Encute\Script — send the script to the footer (along with its entire dependency family).
CWS\Encute\Script::async(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script async.
CWS\Encute\Script::defer(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script defer.
CWS\Encute\Script::remove(): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script.
CWS\Encute\Script::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script if the callback resolves as true.
CWS\Encute\Script::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — keep the script if the callback resolves as true (else remove it).

Style

static CWS\Encute\Style::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Style — get a Style instance for that handle.
CWS\Encute\Style::footer(): CWS\Encute\Style — send the style to the footer (along with its entire dependency family).
CWS\Encute\Style::defer(): CWS\Encute\Style — defer the style's loading.
CWS\Encute\Style::remove(): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style.
CWS\Encute\Style::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style if the callback resolves as true.
CWS\Encute\Style::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — keep the style if the callback resolves as true (else remove it).
