This is a node.js module that minimize CSS files (cssmin).
It uses a port of YUICompressor made in JavaScript by Stoyan Stefanov based on Isaac Schlueter work.
For more informations about YUICompressor → https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor
You can either download the plugin and unzip it into to your project folder or you can use npm to install the node-cssmin package.
The module exports the cssmin function, so you can use it with :
var cssmin = require('cssmin').cssmin;
The function cssmin takes two arguments :
- input : the CSS content you want to minimize.
- linebreakpos : the number of characters before the end of the line. If empty, the output will have only one line.
Example :
var puts = require('sys').puts,
fs = require('fs'),
cssmin = require('./cssmin').cssmin;
var css = fs.readFileSync("/Any/Random/CSS/File.css", encoding='utf8');
var min = cssmin(css);
puts(min);
