py

Python bindings for the Go minifiers for web formats minify, see github.com/tdewolff/minify.

Requisites

Make sure to have Go installed.

Usage

There are three functions available in Python: configure the minifiers, minify a string, and minify a file. Below an example of their usage:

import minify

# default config option values
minify.config({
    'css-precision': 0,
    'html-keep-comments': False,
    'html-keep-conditional-comments': False,
    'html-keep-default-attr-vals': False,
    'html-keep-document-tags': False,
    'html-keep-end-tags': False,
    'html-keep-whitespace': False,
    'html-keep-quotes': False,
    'js-precision': 0,
    'js-keep-var-names': False,
    'js-version': 0,
    'json-precision': 0,
    'json-keep-numbers': False,
    'svg-keep-comments': False,
    'svg-precision': 0,
    'xml-keep-whitespace': False,
})

s = minify.string('text/html', '<span style="color:#ff0000;" class="text">Some  text</span>')
print(s)  # <span style=color:red class=text>Some text</span>

minify.file('text/html', 'example.html', 'example.min.html')  # creates example.min.html

Mediatypes

The first argument is the mediatype of the content. The following mediatypes correspond to the configured minifiers:

• text/css: CSS
• text/html: HTML
• image/svg+xml: SVG
• (application|text)/(x-)?(java|ecma)script: JS
• */json */*-json: JSON
• */xml */*-xml: XML
