Ability to delete assets after inlining. #48

This feature could be useful for builds where images are also optimized and copied into a bin folder. This way there wouldn't have to be a public facing copy of the image and the dist folder can be smaller.

@DylanPiercey please share your ideas on how this could work. If the plugin would just delete the inlined files, it would fail to inline them again on the next compilation.

DylanPiercey commented 8 years ago

In my proposed scenario the files would have been built/optimized by a tool an would be rebuilt before each css build.

Images should be optimized only when changed. And manipulating so much with filesystem in CSS sounds like a side effect. Just delete them yourself after compilation if it is required.

@mabar fair enough. I'm using web pack for this now anyways :).
