## README

# Abridge

`npm install abridge`

Abridge is a streaming compiler for CSS & JavaScript. It is a superset of [ycssmin](https://github.com/yui/ycssmin) and [uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS), with a streamable interface on top.

## Usage

```js
var abridge = require('abridge');
/* abridge.{Minifier, createStream, minify} */
```

**Piping output**

Pipe #minify output to any writable stream.

```js
abridge.minify('path/to/my/file.js').pipe(process.stdout);
```

You may use either a String or an instance of fs.ReadStream as a first argument.

```js
var inputStream = require('fs').createReadStream('path/to/my/file.css');
abridge.minify(inputStream).pipe(process.stdout);
```

**Using callback**

Throw in a callback if you desire.

```js
abridge.minify('file.js', function(err, data) {
});
```

**minify is createStream**

```js
abridge.createStream('file.css').pipe(process.stdout);
```

**Minify multiple files at once**

```js
abridge.minify(['file1.js', 'file2.js']).pipe(process.stdout);
```

**Serve minified scripts and styles**

Abridge can be integrated into a web server for quickly minifying scripts & styles.

```js
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    abridge.createStream(req.url.slice(1)).pipe(res);
});
server.listen(8080);
```
