library0.1.8jsnpmunverified

Gulp plugin that minifies HTML using the html-minifier library. Version 0.1.8 is the latest stable release. The plugin wraps html-minifier's options, adding convenience features like ignorePath (to remove path segments from output) and an environment flag to skip minification in development. It is a legacy gulp plugin from the early gulp ecosystem, relying on gulp streams (not through2 or newer patterns). No longer actively maintained; consider using gulp-htmlmin or integrating html-minifier directly.

Code
Verified usage

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

default
✓ import htmlmin from 'gulp-html-minifier';
✗ var htmlmin = require('gulp-html-minifier');
CommonJS require works, but ES default import is also valid. The module exports a single function.
named (none)
✓ const htmlmin = require('gulp-html-minifier');
✗ const { minify } = require('gulp-html-minifier');
No named exports; only default export.
gulp pipe usage
✓ .pipe(htmlmin({ collapseWhitespace: true }))
✗ .pipe(htmlmin().on('error', ...))
Options are passed directly to the function call, not via separate .minify() method.

Basic gulp task that minifies all HTML files with common html-minifier options and outputs to dist.

const gulp = require('gulp'); const htmlmin = require('gulp-html-minifier'); gulp.task('minify-html', () => { return gulp.src('src/**/*.html') .pipe(htmlmin({ removeComments: true, collapseWhitespace: true, removeAttributeQuotes: true, minifyJS: true, minifyCSS: true })) .pipe(gulp.dest('dist')); });
