CSS::Packer(3pm)

💅 CSS::Packer — bestie edition

okay so you want to squish CSS?? say less. this is CSS::Packer, a Perl module (lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages, iykyk) and it is literally Another CSS minifier. that's the whole name, no notes.

---

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 2.09 🎀 — that's the one you're reading about rn.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it's a fast pure Perl CSS minifier. that's it, that's the description. fast. pure Perl. minifies. slay 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe:

use CSS::Packer;

my $packer = CSS::Packer->init();

$packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

and if you want to get a scalar back without touching the input, just do this (like, e.g. example 2):

my $ret = $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

also, for backward compatibility, you can still call minify like a plain old function, no object needed:

CSS::Packer::minify( $scalarref, $opts );

the rules, bestie: the first argument must be a scalarref of CSS code. the second argument must be a hashref of options. and here are the possible options 👇

• compress — sets the compression level. possible values are 'minify' and 'pretty'. default is 'pretty'. 🫶

'pretty' turns

a {
color:          black
;}   div

{ width:100px;
}

into

a{
color:black;
}
div{
width:100px;
}

and 'minify' takes those same rules and gives you this:

a{color:black;}div{width:100px;}

• indent — how many spaces to use for indentation. only actually used when compress is 'pretty'. default is 0. ✨
• copyright — lets you drop a copyright notice at the top of the script. 💖
• remove_copyright — if there's a copyright notice chilling in a comment, it only gets removed if this option is set to a true value. otherwise, the first comment containing the word "copyright" gets added at the top of the packed script. also, a copyright comment will be overwritten by a copyright notice you define with the copyright option. 😭
• no_compress_comment — if this is not set to a true value, you're allowed to set a CSS comment that stops the input from being packed, or that defines a compression level. like so:

/* CSS::Packer _no_compress_ */
/* CSS::Packer pretty */
