kd-minifier is a modified fork of the original minifier package (v1.0.8) for minifying CSS and JS files. It provides a CLI tool and Node.js API for minification, CSS URL resolution relative to output, and automatic @import resolution. Release cadence is unknown; the fork appears unmaintained. Compared to alternatives like UglifyJS or clean-css, it offers a simpler setup with folder-wide minification and template-based output naming.

Verified usage

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

kd-minifier
✓ const minifier = require('kd-minifier')
✗ import minifier from 'kd-minifier'
This package does not support ESM; use CommonJS require().
minifier.on
✓ minifier.on('error', callback)
✗ minifier.on('error', undefined)
Event listener must be set before calling minify.
minifier.minify
✓ minifier.minify(input, options)
✗ minifier.minify({input: input, options: options})
First argument is a path string or array of paths, second is options object.
minifier.generateOutputName
✓ minifier.generateOutputName(file, { template: '...', content: null })
✗ minifier.generateOutputName(file, 'template')
Second argument must be an options object, not a string.

Demonstrates how to use kd-minifier to minify a single JS file and a folder of files with template-based output naming.

const minifier = require('kd-minifier'); const path = require('path'); // Minify a single file const input = './src/script.js'; const output = './dist/script.min.js'; minifier.on('error', (err) => { console.error('Minification error:', err); }); minifier.minify(input, { output }); // Minify a folder with template minifier.minify('./src', { template: '{{filename}}-{{md5}}.min.{{ext}}', clean: false });

Known issues
deprecatedPackage is a forked, unmaintained version of the original minifier.
fix
Consider using uglify-js and clean-css directly, or switch to an active minification tool.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaThe 'minifier' global from the original package is replaced by 'kd-minifier'. Do not use require('minifier').
fix
Use require('kd-minifier') instead.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaThe package does not provide TypeScript type definitions.
fix
Create your own declaration file or use @ts-ignore.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaCSS @import resolution may fail if the imported file does not exist or paths are incorrect.
fix
Ensure all @import paths are relative to the CSS file location.
affects: >=1.0.0
