tinyhtml

library0.0.72jsnpmunverified

Tinyhtml is a compact, reliable, and customizable HTML minifier for Node.js. The current stable version is 0.0.72, released on npm. It focuses on removing unnecessary whitespace, collapsing attribute values, and optionally parsing script/style tags with custom parsers. Unlike other minifiers, it provides fine-grained control over tag content via parsers and allows preserving specific whitespace patterns. It is actively maintained, with a simple API and no dependencies. Suitable for build pipelines and server-side HTML compression.

Verified usage

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

tinyHTML

✓ import tinyHTML from 'tinyhtml'

✗ const tinyHTML = require('tinyhtml')

Package is ESM-only. CommonJS require() will fail with latest versions. Use import or dynamic import().

tinyHTML

✓ const tinyHTML = require('tinyhtml').default || require('tinyhtml')

✗ const tinyHTML = require('tinyhtml')

If using CommonJS, the default export is not directly available; use the workaround shown.

tinyHTML

✓ import tinyHTML from 'tinyhtml'

✗ import { tinyHTML } from 'tinyhtml'

Default export only; named import is incorrect.

Minifies an HTML string by removing unnecessary whitespace, collapsing attribute values, and stripping optional quotes.

import tinyHTML from 'tinyhtml'; const input = ` <body class="mediawiki ltr sitedir-ltr ns-4 ns-subject page-Wikipedia"> <div id="content" class="mw-body" role="main"> <h1 id="firstHeading">Wikipedia:Portada</h1> </div> </body> `; const result = tinyHTML(input); console.log(result); // <body class="mediawiki ltr sitedir-ltr ns-4 ns-subject page-Wikipedia"><div id="content" class="mw-body" role="main"><h1 id="firstHeading">Wikipedia:Portada</h1></div></body>

fix

Use the 'parsers' option to preserve whitespace in script/style tags.
