Node Smush

Install

$ npm install smush

Utility package to help smush css and js files. Currently supports jade template language, but can easily be extended to support other formats.

Minified files are placed in options.target dir, defaults to public/css/min and public/js/min for css and js files respectively.

The generated .jade files are placed alongside the .tmpl files.

Default CSS & JS options

Please check default options for search and replace patterns listed below or in the index.js file. You just need to update the options to suit your needs.

var defaults = {
  extension: '.tmpl',
  jade: {
    extension: '.jade',
    comment: '//- This is a generated file. Make your changes to the .tmpl file instead.\n\n',
    css: {
      pattern: /link\(rel=\"stylesheet\", href=\"(.*)\.css\"/,
      replacePattern: '<PLACEHOLDERFORMINIFIEDFILE>',
      extension: '.css',
      source: 'public',
      target: 'public/css/min/'
    },

    js: {
      pattern: /script\(src\=\"(.*)\.js\"/,
      replacePattern: '<PLACEHOLDERFORMINIFIEDFILE>',
      extension: '.js',
      source: 'public',
      target: 'public/js/min/'
    }
  }
};

Smush CSS

Use smush.css(options, callback) to smush css files. template is a required field that species the .tmpl file to smush.

Example

var smush = require('smush');
smush.css({
  template: 'test/sample/css/styles',
  pattern: /link\(rel=\"stylesheet\",href=\"(.*)\.css\"/,
  source: 'test/sample/',
  target: 'test/sample/min/'
}, callback);

Smush JS

Use smush.js(options, callback) to smush javascript files. template is a required field that species the .tmpl file to smush.

Example

smush.js({
  template: 'test/sample/js/scripts',
  pattern: /script\(src\=\'(.*)\.js\'/,
  source: 'test/sample/',
  target: 'test/sample/min/'
}, callback);

Test Code

Run npm test or node path/to/smush/index.js to verify if minify is working. Please check files under test dir for a sample implementation.
