How it works ?

to minfy css you can use the following command

the-minifier --css

imagine your css file is in a style folder like this: ./style/index.css

after using the command mentioned above you will see in this style folder a new file in this format: ./style/index.min.css

the system is the same with html or javascript

if you want to minify the html of your project type the following command

the-minifier --html

you will see *.min.html files appear

same for javascript

the-minifier --js

you will see *.min.js files appear

the application now supports typescript in addition to javascript

the-minifier --ts

If you don't want to create a .min file you can use the --no-min option in your command.

the-minifier --js --no-min

⚠️ Warning this option will overwrite the existing file to recreate it with the minifier content
