wintersmith-minify

A CSS (clean-css) and JavaScript (UglifyJS) minifier plugin for Wintersmith.

Installation

The plugin is not published on NPM yet as it's in an early-stage. If you want to use the plugin now, you could add it as a Git submodule, import it using the Git URI, or make a local fork.

Usage

1. Create a file with this name pattern:

   <output>.<filetype>.minify.json

   Where:

   • <output> is the name of the minified file.

   • <filetype> is the file extension (either js or css for now).

2. In this file, make a list of the files you want to minify in an input property.

   For instance, in bundle.js.minify.json:

   {
     "input": [
         "other-script.js",
         "../src/main.js"
     ]
   }

   And in bundle.css.minify.json:

   {
     "input": [
         "normalize.css",
         "../src/main.css"
     ]
   }

   Side note: If you want your source files not to be included and accessible in Wintersmith builds, you must place them outside the contents folder.

3. Put every *.*.minify.json file in the path you want your minified file to be in, e.g. contents/script/bundle.js.minify.json, and contents/style/bundle.css.minify.json.

4. Use the minified file in your project without the postfix, e.g.:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="style/bundle.css"/>
   <script src="script/bundle.js"></script>
