ease-task-minify-html

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

A plugin for the Ease task runner that minifies HTML files using html-minifier. Current stable version is 1.0.2 (released in 2016, no recent updates). It integrates with Ease's task system and supports standard html-minifier options plus custom dir, outDir, and cleanOutDir settings. Key differentiator: it is specific to the Ease task runner ecosystem, which has limited adoption. For modern projects, consider using html-minifier directly or alternative build tools. Release cadence: no activity since 2016, effectively in maintenance/semi-abandoned state.

Shows how to install and configure the html-minifier plugin in easeconfig.js, then define a job to run it.

const minifyHtml = require('ease-task-minify-html'); module.exports = function(ease) { ease.install('minify-html', minifyHtml, { dir: 'src', outDir: 'dist', collapseWhitespace: true, removeComments: true }); ease.job('minify-html-files', ['minify-html']); };

Known issues

deprecatedThis package has not been updated since 2016; html-minifier may have breaking changes or security vulnerabilities.

fix

Consider using html-minifier directly or migrating to a modern build tool like Webpack, Parcel, or Vite.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaThe `dir` and `outDir` paths are relative to easeconfig.js, not the current working directory.

fix

Use absolute paths or ensure relative paths are correct from the config file location.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaOnly CommonJS require() is supported; import statements will fail.

fix

Use const minifyHtml = require('ease-task-minify-html'); instead of ES import.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaThe plugin does not validate the config object; invalid html-minifier options may cause runtime errors.

fix

Refer to html-minifier documentation for valid options and test thoroughly.

affects: >=1.0
