Code

Verified usage

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

minifyHTML

✓ import minifyHTML from 'express-minify-html-terser'

✗ const minifyHTML = require('express-minify-html-terser')

Use default import (ESM) or require. Typings ship types.

minifyHTML

✓ const minifyHTML = require('express-minify-html-terser')

✗ const minifyHTML = require('express-minify-html-terser').default

CommonJS require returns the function directly, not as a default export.

MinifyHTMLOptions

✓ import { MinifyHTMLOptions } from 'express-minify-html-terser'

Optional type export; use for TypeScript.

Shows basic setup with minification options and exception URL disabled.

import express from 'express'; import minifyHTML from 'express-minify-html-terser'; const app = express(); app.use(minifyHTML({ override: true, exception_url: false, htmlMinifier: { removeComments: true, collapseWhitespace: true, collapseBooleanAttributes: true, removeAttributeQuotes: true, removeEmptyAttributes: true, minifyJS: true } })); app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.render('index', { title: 'Hello' }); }); app.listen(3000);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaUnless exception_url is set, all HTML responses are minified. Ensure exception_url includes non-HTML routes.

fix

Set exception_url to an array of regex/strings/functions to skip minification for certain routes.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThis package is a fork replacing deprecated html-minifier with html-minifier-terser. Use this instead of express-minify-html.

fix

Switch to express-minify-html-terser for support.

affects: <1.0.0

gotchaThe htmlMinifier options are passed directly to html-minifier-terser. Some options may conflict or cause errors when minifying inline JS or CSS.

fix

Test thoroughly; refer to html-minifier-terser documentation for valid options.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: minifyHTML is not a function

Using default import when CommonJS require returns the function directly without .default.

fix

Use const minifyHTML = require('express-minify-html-terser'); (without .default)

Cannot find module 'html-minifier-terser'

Missing peer dependency html-minifier-terser.

fix

Run: npm install html-minifier-terser

Error: Minify HTML options must be an object

Missing or invalid options object passed to middleware.

fix

Pass an object with at least an htmlMinifier property: minifyHTML({ htmlMinifier: { removeComments: true } })
