css-smasher v0.5.0
CSS Masher
css-masher will analyse your css and remove unnecassary elements like comments and whitespace, without modify the meaning of your stylesheets.
Requirements
css-masher.js can be used in your application or on it's own. You need nodejs installed to run it from the command-line.
Installation
npm install css-smasher
If you've checked out the Git repo to do development install development dependencies with:
cd css-smasher
npm install --dev
Usage
Once installed with npm css-masher runs from the command-line:
css-smash input.css
The css is written to stdout, so you may want to pipe it into a file:
css-smash input.css > output.css
You can also use the --outfile parameter:
css-smash --outfile output.css input.css
For full usage do:
css-smash --usage
Development
When developing, here are a few things you should know...
- The parser is built from the parser.jison file using "cake build:parser"
- To update your javascript as you're changing the coffeescript use "cake build:watch"
Running the tests
To run the tests you'll need to install the test dependencies (see Installation), then:
cake spec
If your tests are failing you should consider running "cake build" to update all dependencies. You can use "cake build:watch" to rebuild while you work.
