library0.4.4-bjsnpmunverified

Middleware for Express that automatically minifies and caches HTML output rendered by the Swig template engine. Version 0.4.4-b is the latest and only release, last updated in 2016. Supports file, memory, or Redis caching with configurable hash algorithms (md5, sha512, sha256). No longer maintained; Swig itself is deprecated in favor of Nunjucks. Works only with Node >=0.10 and Swig. Key differentiator: seamless integration with Express app.engine.

swigMinifier
✓ const swigMinifier = require('swig-minifier');
✗ import swigMinifier from 'swig-minifier';
Package uses CommonJS and does not provide ESM exports. Use require only.

Demonstrates basic setup of swig-minifier with Express, including init and engine replacement.

const express = require('express'); const swigMinifier = require('swig-minifier'); const app = express(); // Initialize with custom options (optional) swigMinifier.init({ cacheType: 'memory', hashGen: 'md5' }); // Set swig-minifier as the engine for .html files app.engine('html', swigMinifier.engine); // Render a template using res.render app.get('/', function(req, res) { res.render('index.html', { title: 'Hello' }); }); app.listen(3000);

Known issues
gotchaSwig template engine is deprecated; this package is unmaintained since 2016. Use with Nunjucks or other modern engines is not supported.
fix
Migrate to a maintained HTML minification approach (e.g., html-minifier + custom caching).
affects: >=0.0.0
breaking.clearCache() on Redis issues a flushAll command, which clears ALL keys in the Redis database, not just swig-minifier's keys.
fix
Avoid using Redis cacheType or manually implement targeted cache clearing.
affects: >=0.0.0
