Package Exports
- minify
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (minify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Minify - a minifier of js, css, html and img files.

How to use?
CLI
$ cat > hello.js
const hello = 'world';
for (let i = 0; i < hello.length; i++) {
console.log(hello[i]);
}
^D
$ minify hello.js
const hello="world";for(let l=0;l<hello.length;l++)console.log(hello[l]);
Code Example
minify
can be used as a promise
:
const minify = require('minify');
const options = {
html: {
removeAttributeQuotes: false,
removeOptionalTags: false
},
};
minify('./client.js', options)
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
Or with async-await
and try-to-catch:
const minify = require('minify');
const tryToCatch = require('try-to-catch');
const options = {
html: {
removeAttributeQuotes: false,
removeOptionalTags: false
}
};
async () => {
const [error, data] = await tryToCatch(minify, './client.js', options);
if (error)
return console.error(error.message);
console.log(data);
}();
Options
The options object accepts configuration for html
, css
, js
, and img
like so:
const options = {
html: {
removeAttributeQuotes: false,
},
css: {
compatibility: '*',
},
js: {
ecma: 5,
},
img: {
maxSize: 4096,
}
}
Full documentation for options that each file type accepts can be found on the pages of the libraries used by minify to process the files:

- CSS: https://github.com/jakubpawlowicz/clean-css
- JS: https://github.com/terser/terser
