goalup-minify

library1.3.0jsnpmunverified

goalup-minify is a CLI tool that uses gulp and other popular minifiers (UglifyJS, clean-css, htmlmin, imagemin) to compress JS, CSS, HTML, and image files for production-ready static websites. Version 1.3.0 (stable, last updated 2019) runs a single command to output individually processed files to a /public directory. Unlike bundlers (Webpack, Parcel), it processes files one-to-one without bundling. Supports autoprefixing and inline asset compression via HTML attributes. Low maintenance; no recent updates. Ideal for simple static sites without an existing build pipeline.

Debug

Known issues

breakingCLI options changed between v0.x and v1.x – check --help for updated flags.

fix

Update to v1.x and review current options via goalup-minify --help.

affects: >=0.0.0 <1.0.0

deprecatedImage minification via imagemin may be outdated; no imagemin plugin updates since 2020.

fix

Consider using a separate image optimization tool (e.g., sharp, squoosh-cli).

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPaths are relative to the working directory, not the script location. Running from another directory may break output paths.

fix

Always run goalup-minify from your project root or use absolute paths.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe --dest option cannot be the same as the working directory (safety check). This may cause confusion if you expect in-place minification.

fix

Specify a different output directory, e.g., --dest ./dist.

affects: >=1.2.0

gotchaNo bundling – each file is processed individually; imports/exports are not resolved. Not suitable for ES module projects.

fix

Use a bundler like Webpack or Rollup if you need module resolution.

affects: >=0.0.0
