gulp-cshtml-minifier

library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

gulp plugin to minify ASP.NET Razor View (.cshtml) files and optionally replace hash strings with datetime. Version 0.0.3 is the latest and appears to be a stable release with minimal updates. Key differentiators: focuses on cshtml-specific comments (Razor @* *@, HTML, JS) and whitespace removal, plus a unique hash-to-datetime replacement feature. Alternative to generic HTML minifiers that may break Razor syntax.

Verified usage

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

minifyCshtml

✓ const minifyCshtml = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier');

✗ import minifyCshtml from 'gulp-cshtml-minifier';

Package uses CommonJS; ESM import may fail without bundler support.

minifyCshtml

✓ import minifyCshtml = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier');

✗ const { minifyCshtml } = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier');

Default export is the function; destructuring will be undefined.

minifyCshtml

✓ const minifyCshtml = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier');

✗ var minify = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier').minify;

There is no 'minify' export; use default require.

Basic Gulp task that minifies a cshtml file by removing comments and whitespace, using default options.

const gulp = require('gulp'); const minifyCshtml = require('gulp-cshtml-minifier'); gulp.task('minify-cshtml', function() { return gulp.src('./Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml') .pipe(minifyCshtml({ htmlComments: true, jsComments: true, razorComments: true, whitespace: true })) .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/')); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaMinification regex may break inline JavaScript or CSS with comment-like patterns.

fix

Test thoroughly; consider using an HTML minifier with cshtml support instead.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaWhitespace removal only between angle brackets; does not remove spaces inside attributes or text.

fix

Use additional minification steps if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchareplaceHash option is case-sensitive ('hash' not 'Hash') unless you pass a regex with 'i' flag.

fix

Use pattern /hash/ig for case-insensitive replacement.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo TypeScript definitions; type errors in TS projects.

fix

Create a custom .d.ts file or use @ts-ignore.

affects: >=0.0.0
