Abell CSS Minifier is a plugin for the Abell static site generator that minifies static CSS files. Version 1.0.0 (current) works with Abell ^0.6.4. It has zero runtime dependencies and operates as a build plugin. Unlike general CSS minifiers, it integrates directly into the Abell plugin system, automatically processing CSS during the build. The plugin is rarely updated, last released in 2020, and is intended for users of the Abell framework who want a simple, dependency-free minification step for static CSS assets.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin only processes static CSS files in the specified directory, not inline styles or CSS imported in JavaScript.

fix

Ensure all static CSS files are placed in the cssPath directory. Inline styles must be minified separately.

affects: all

breakingThe plugin is designed for Abell v0.6.4 and may not work with newer versions of Abell.

fix

Check Abell version compatibility. If using a newer Abell, look for an updated version or alternative plugin.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe minifier does not accept advanced options; it simply minifies all CSS files in the given path using basic minification.

fix

Use a dedicated CSS minification tool like clean-css or cssnano if you need more control.
