grunt-node-minify

Grunt plugin for node-minify

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=1.0.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-node-minify --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-minify');

The "grunt-node-minify" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named node-minify to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  'node-minify': {
    your_task: {
      compressor: '',     // Optional, defaults to `gcc`
      sync: '',           // Optional, defaults to `false`
      buffer: '',         // Optional, defaults to `(1024 * 1000)`
      publicFolder: '',   // Optional, defaults to `undefined`
      options: {
        // Optional, compressor specific options go here. See node-minify.
      },
      your_target: {
        // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
      }
    }
  }
});

Options

See node-minify for compressors and compressor options {...} which can be specified.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to minify javascript files recursively found in src/ to the file dest/gcc.min.js, using google-closure-compiler-js.

grunt.initConfig({
  'node-minify': {
    gcc: {
      files: {
        'dest/gcc.min.js': ['src/**/*.js']
      }
    }
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to minify javascript files recursively found in the publicFolder (src) to the file dest/uglifyjs.min.js, using uglifyjs with options { .. }.

grunt.initConfig({
  'node-minify': {
    uglifyjs: {
      compressor: 'uglifyjs',
      publicFolder: 'src/',
      options: {
        warnings: true,
        mangle: false,
        compress: false
      }
      files: {
        'dest/uglifyjs.min.js':  ['**/*.js']
      }
    }
  }
});
