Ability to whitelist whole CSS files

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I’m importing an NPM module that includes a CSS file. A lot of the classes in that file are caught by PurgeCSS.

Describe the solution you’d like A configuration option to whitelist entire files by path.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

• Fishing out classes one by one.
• Adding all JS files from the NPM module to content - didn’t work.

I was also looking for this! In my case the issue was that I want to exclude all Datatables (+ plugins) styles from the purging, as it would be impossible to manually find and safelist them one by one.

I also tried wrapping the imports like:

/* purgecss start ignore */
@import "~datatables.net/...";
/* purgecss end ignore */ 

But that also doesn’t work 😢 Anybody has suggestions?

I saw no negative feedback, so … bump 🤷
