Cross platform, supports many Python 3.x versions
Only tested on Python 3.7



Getting started
web-minify can be used and hacked on in a myriad of different ways.
Use web-minify as a module from your code
web-minify is available in PyPI.
# Install web-minify into your current Python environment
pip install web-minify

Now you can access it's features from your code:

import web_minify

settings = {
"input": "my_originals_dir/",
"output": "my_processed_dir/",
}

# Instanciate processor with settings we want to use
p = web_minify.processor.Processor(settings)


# Process files as per settings (this is equivalent to the commandline mode)
p. process_file()


# Process a list of files relative to input, and output them depending on settings
p. process_files_list(["input_file.svg", "input_file.html"])


# Process a single file (disregard input/output from settings
p.process_file("some_input_file.svg", "some_output_file.svg")


Use web-minify as a command line tool
web-minify is available in PyPI.
# Install web-minify into your current Python environment
pip install web-minify

# Run the web-minify cli tool with help argument to see detailed usage
web-minify --help

The output looks like this:

$ ./web-minify.py --help

general:
General options for this program

--version show program's version number and exit
--mode {Mode.minify,Mode.beautify}

(for debugging purposes)
--copy Just copy files verbatime without processing them.
--force Overwrite even if destination exists and is newer.

v1.1.2

Process all CSS/SASS/HTML/JS/SVG/PNG/JPEG found at input,
either in single file or recursively through a directory.

Will output in place, to specified file or folder depending
on what output was specified.

Will apply transformation to each file according to
selected mode:

Mode = minify (for optimizing production):
+ Compile (SASS -> CSS)
+ Strip whitespace
+ Strip comments
+ Strip metadata
+ Increase compression ratio (PNG, JPEG)
+ Sort (CSS)
+ Add timestamp (CSS, HTML)
+ Obfuscate (CSS, JS)
+ Hash

Mode = beautify (for aiding development):
+ lint (JS, HTML)
+ normalize format (JS, HTML)

Provides some options for processing:
+ Process files in-place
+ Process files renaming to new form
+ Compress results to .gz (all non-binary files)

Available variables in format string are:
+ {EXT}
+ {HASH}
+ {PATH}
+ {BASE}



Developing web-minify
web-minify is available on gitlab.
web-minify welcomes PRs! If you want to contribute we welcome your code contriburtions! We are proud of the fact that this project is a true meritocracy.
Example: extending web-minify to support additional formats is done by a very simple interface:

Put a module under web-minify/web_minify/handlers/your_format. This can either be a module folder or python module source file. See css/ or html.py for example implementations.
Include the new function in __all__ in web-minify/web_minify/handlers/__init__.py
Register the new function in self.processor_map in web-minify/web_minify/processor.py

Easy as 🥧!

Supports change detection and watch mode
Made to be somewhat extensible

Known Limitations and Problems:

Compression of modern .js haves some bugs. We welcome PRs!
Some of the usage patterns of the command line tool are not implemented yet. We welcome PRs!
Codebase has ZERO tests. We welcome PRs!
