cutw-minimal

library1.2.4jsnpmunverified

A simple command-line HTML minifier from CleanUptheWeb. Current stable version is 1.2.4. It can be used both as a CLI tool and as a Node.js module via require(). The CLI works on a directory basis, with input and output directory arguments. The library is minimal and provides a single min() method that accepts a string of HTML and returns minified output. It is designed for simple use cases where full-featured minifiers are overkill, but lacks advanced features like source maps or streaming.

Code

Verified usage

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

cutw-minimal

✓ const Minifier = require('cutw-minimal');

✗ import Minifier from 'cutw-minimal';

This package does not ship ESM exports. Only CommonJS require() is supported. Using ES import will either fail or require a default import interop.

Minifier

✓ const m = new Minifier(); m.min(htmlString);

✗ Minifier.min(htmlString);

The minifier is instantiated via the constructor. Calling .min directly on the class will cause a TypeError.

min

✓ const m = new Minifier(); console.log(m.min(' Hello '));

✗ const { min } = require('cutw-minimal'); min(htmlString);

There is no named export of min; it must be called on an instance.

This example shows how to import the package using CommonJS require, create a new instance, and minify an HTML string.

const Minifier = require('cutw-minimal'); const minifier = new Minifier(); const html = '<html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Hello World </body></html>'; const result = minifier.min(html); console.log(result); // Output: <html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>Hello World</body></html>

Known issues

gotchaESM import not supported

fix

Use CommonJS require() instead of ES import syntax.

affects: all

deprecatedThe CLI argument parsing is brittle; it assumes input/output directories with no flags.

fix

Consider using a more robust CLI tool like html-minifier. For programmatic use, the API is fine.

affects: all

gotchaMinifier() constructor requires no arguments. Calling new Minifier(options) will silently ignore options.

fix

Do not pass options to the constructor; they are not supported.

affects: all

gotchamin() method throws on invalid input (e.g., undefined or null).

fix

Always provide a non-null string to min()

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: Minifier is not a constructor

Using ES import (import Minifier from 'cutw-minimal') instead of CommonJS require

fix

Change to const Minifier = require('cutw-minimal');

TypeError: m.min is not a function

Calling min on the class without instantiating

fix

Create an instance first: const m = new Minifier(); then m.min(html)

Cannot find module 'cutw-minimal'

Package not installed or running in a non-Node environment
