resmin

library0.1.3jsnpmunverified

resmin is an all-in-one middleware for Connect/Express that compresses, merges, and minifies CSS and JavaScript resources on the fly. Currently at version 0.1.3 with no active maintenance since 2011. It uses node-watch for file watching and ycssmin/cssmin for CSS minification. Unlike standalone minifiers, it integrates directly into Express routing but is outdated and superseded by tools like UglifyJS2 and webpack.
