gulp-web-compress v0.4.1

gulp-web-compress

A gulp plugin to optionally compress output with gzip and brotli.

Usage

import {pipeline} from 'stream';
import gulp from 'gulp';
import gulpWebCompress from 'gulp-web-compress';

gulp.task('default', () => pipeline(
	gulp.src('src/**'),
	/* perform build steps */
	gulp.dest('dest', {sourceMaps: '.'}),
	gulpWebCompress(),
	gulp.dest('dest'),
	error => {
		if (error) {
			console.error(error);
		}
	}
));

gulp.dest must be called before and after gulpWebCompress. The first call to gulp.dest generates source-map files and writes the uncompressed files. All files (including source-maps) are then passed to gulpWebCompress which produces *.gz and *.br files. Only compressed files reach the second call to gulp.dest.

gulpCompress(options)

options.types

An array of zero or more strings can be provided.

Default ['br', 'gz]

Valid types are br for brotli compression, gz for gzip compression.

options.skipLarger

This prevents creation of compressed files that are larger than the uncompressed files.

Default true

options.gzipOptions

See node.js zlib options documentation. Example:

gulpCompress({
	types: ['gz'],
	gzipOptions: {
		level: 9
	}
})

options.brotliOptions

See brotliEncodeParams documentation. Example:

gulpCompress({
	types: ['br'],
	brotliOptions: {
		mode: 0,
		quality: 11
	}
})
