Missing type="text" on inputs in prerendered HTML-files

Describe the bug On input fields in prerendered HTML-files, the type attribute is missing if it has the default value “text”. Strangely this is not happening when testing directly with the “preact-render-to-string” package in this CodeSandbox example.

But it happens when I prerender the same content with preact build.

To Reproduce

1. Prerender a file with an input with type="text" in it.
2. Check the prerendered index.html file, the type attribute should be gone

Expected behavior The type="text" attribute should not be stripped away, even though it is the default value. It might for example be used for CSS styling.

Sorry for the super late response!

This is intentional, redundant attributes are stripped by html-webpack-plugin (which uses html-minifier-terser to do this).

If you want to disable this, you can use your config file to do so:

preact.config.js

export default (config, env, helpers) => {
    if (env.isProd) {
        const HtmlPlugin = helpers.getPluginsByName(config, 'HtmlWebpackPlugin')[0];
        if (HtmlPlugin) {
            const pluginOptions = HtmlPlugin.plugin.options;
            pluginOptions.minify.removeRedundantAttributes = false;
        }
    }
}

@developit If --no-inline-css completely disables Critters, then it has nothing to do with it. I already disabled inline CSS in the project where I stumbled upon this bug and I tested it in the example repository too, sadly it didn’t resolve the issue.

type="Text" and Type="text" are also getting stripped away.
