string-minify

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

string-minify is a minimal Node.js utility (v1.0.1) that removes extra whitespace, tabs, newlines, and trims strings. It's a single-function, zero-dependency module designed for simple string cleanup in Node.js >=8. Unlike full-fledged minifiers (e.g., UglifyJS, Terser), it only collapses whitespace and does not handle code syntax. Released under MIT, it is stable but not actively developed. Suitable for preprocessing text content.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import minifier from 'string-minify'

✗ import { minifier } from 'string-minify'

The module exports a single function as default; ES module import should not use named import.

default (require)

✓ const minifier = require('string-minify')

✗ const { minifier } = require('string-minify')

CommonJS require returns the function directly, not an object with a named property.

type import (TypeScript)

✓ import minifier from 'string-minify'

✗ import { minifier } from 'string-minify'

TypeScript users should use default import for the function; the package does not ship types.

Demonstrates basic usage: importing the minifier, passing a multi-line string with extra spaces, and verifying the result.

const minifier = require('string-minify'); const ugly = `Hello world! I am a string! `; const clean = minifier(ugly); console.log(clean); // "Hello world! I am a string!" console.log(clean === 'Hello world! I am a string!'); // true

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe minifier removes all consecutive whitespace, including indentation and line breaks. If you need to preserve line breaks or indentation, do not use this package.

fix

Consider using a different tool or manually splitting the string before minification.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaOnly supports Node.js >=8; will fail on older versions without proper ES6 support.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 8 or later.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo TypeScript type definitions provided; TypeScript users must create their own or use a declaration file.

fix

Add a global type declaration: declare module 'string-minify';

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: minifier is not a function

Using named import on ES modules or destructuring require incorrectly.

fix

Use default import: import minifier from 'string-minify' or const minifier = require('string-minify');

Cannot find module 'string-minify'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run: npm install string-minify

Unexpected token function

Using ES module syntax (import) in a CommonJS environment without proper transpilation.

fix

Use require('string-minify') instead of import.
