cssgzmin

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

A port of Barry van Oudtshoorn's CSSMin Java project to JavaScript, version 1.0.2. It minimises CSS files while optimising for gzip compression by alphabetically sorting properties and normalising values, leading to smaller gzipped payloads compared to typical minifiers. The package is stable but minimal, with no recent updates and limited community support. It differentiates by focusing on gzip-aware compression rather than raw reduction.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

minify

✓ import { minify } from 'cssgzmin'

✗ const cssgzmin = require('cssgzmin'); cssgzmin.minify('...');

CommonJS require('cssgzmin') returns the module; you must access .minify

default

✓ import cssgzmin from 'cssgzmin'

✗ var cssgzmin = require('cssgzmin');

No default export; the minify function is a named export.

minify (CommonJS)

✓ const { minify } = require('cssgzmin');

✗ const minify = require('cssgzmin');

Using require without destructuring returns the module object.

Demonstrates minifying CSS input string using the minify function, highlighting property reordering and value shortening.

const { minify } = require('cssgzmin'); const input = '.somerule { border: 0px; } .morerules { background: darkblue; }'; const output = minify(input); console.log(output); // Output: .somerule{border:0;background:darkblue}.morerules{background:darkblue}
