💖 HTML-MINIFIER-TERSER — ok bestie, let's shrink some HTML 💖

so like… html-minifier-terser is a JavaScript based HTML minifier. that's the whole vibe. it takes your chunky lil HTML files and makes them ✨svelte✨. iykyk.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

html-minifier-terser [options] [files...]

yes that's it. options and files. main character energy fr fr. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's the whole menu, no skips, no skimming, we're reading all of it together 🫶

  • -V, --version — prints out the version number, that's it, that's the whole job 👑
  • --case-sensitive — treats attributes in a case sensitive manner (lowkey essential for SVG; think viewBox bestie, viewbox is NOT the same thing) 🎀
  • --collapse-boolean-attributes — omits attribute values from boolean attributes. bye bye redundancy 💀
  • --collapse-inline-tag-whitespace — collapses white space around inline tag
  • --collapse-whitespace — collapses white space that contributes to text nodes in a document tree. so much air, gone 🌬️
  • --conservative-collapse — always collapses to 1 space (never removes it entirely). polite collapse, we love her 🙈
  • --continue-on-parse-error — handles parse errors instead of just aborting. she keeps going, she's resilient ✨
  • --custom-attr-assign <value> — arrays of regex'es that allows one to support custom attribute assign expressions (e.g. '<div flex?="{{mode != cover}}"></div>')
  • --custom-attr-collapse <value> — regex that specifies custom attribute to strip newlines from (e.g. /ng-class/)
  • --custom-attr-surround <value> — arrays of regex'es that allows one to support custom attribute surround expressions (e.g. <input {{#if value}}checked="checked"{{/if}}>)
  • --custom-event-attributes <value> — arrays of regex'es that allows one to support custom event attributes for minifyJS (e.g. ng-click)
  • --decode-entities — uses direct Unicode characters whenever possible. unicode girlies rise 🌈
  • --no-html5 — parses input according to HTML5 specifications
  • --ignore-custom-comments <value> — array of regex'es that allows one to ignore certain comments, when matched
  • --ignore-custom-fragments <value> — array of regex'es that allows one to ignore certain fragments, when matched (e.g. <?php ... ?>, {{ ... }})
  • --no-include-auto-generated-tags — inserts tags generated by HTML parser
  • --keep-closing-slash — keeps the trailing slash on singleton elements. she stays 🎀
  • --max-line-length <value> — max line length
  • --minify-css [value] — minifies CSS in style elements and style attributes (uses clean-css)
  • --minify-js [value] — minifies Javascript in script elements and on* attributes (uses terser)
  • --minify-urls [value] — minifies URLs in various attributes (uses relateurl)
  • --no-newlines-before-tag-close — never adds a newline before a tag that closes an element
  • --preserve-line-breaks — always collapses to 1 line break (never removes it entirely) when whitespace between tags include a line break
  • --prevent-attributes-escaping — prevents the escaping of the values of attributes
  • --process-conditional-comments — processes contents of conditional comments through minifier
  • --process-scripts <value> — array of strings corresponding to types of script elements to process through minifier (e.g. "text/ng-template", "text/x-handlebars-template", etc.)
  • --quote-character <value> — type of quote to use for attribute values (' or ")

  • --remove-script-type-attributes — removes the following attributes from script tags: text/javascript, text/ecmascript, text/jscript, application/javascript, application/x-javascript, application/ecmascript. other type attribute values are left intact
  • --remove-style-link-type-attributes — removes type="text/css" from style and link tags. other type attribute values are left intact
  • --remove-tag-whitespace — removes space between attributes whenever possible
  • --sort-attributes — sorts attributes by frequency
  • --sort-class-name — sorts style classes by frequency
  • --trim-custom-fragments — trims white space around ignoreCustomFragments
  • --use-short-doctype — replaces the doctype with the short (HTML5) doctype
