Recursively minify all JavaScript files.

💡 About

minify.js is a Gulp plug-in to recursively minify JavaScript files.

For a quick start on using Gulp: https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/getting-started/quick-start/

⚡ Installation

As a dev dependency, from your project root:

$ npm install -D gulp-minify.js

As a runtime dependency, from your project root:

$ npm install gulp-minify.js

💻 Usage

Use minify() w/ input/output args in your gulpfile.js:

const gulp = require('gulp'),
      minify = require('gulp-minify.js');

gulp.task('minify', cb => {
    minify('src', 'dist');
    cb();
});

Use minify() w/ no args, as part of a stream's transformations in your gulpfile.js:

const gulp = require('gulp'),
      minify = require('gulp-minify.js'),
      rename = require('gulp-rename');

gulp.task('minify', () => {    
    return gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
        .pipe(minify()) // use minify() arglessly as a stream transformation
        .pipe(rename({ suffix: '.min' })) // change suffix of minified file
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist')); // save minified files to the 'dist' directory
});

Options are passed as object properties. For example:

// Minifies all unminified JS directly in 'src' including dotfiles to 'dist'
minify('src', 'dist', { dotFiles: true, recursive: false })

Available options are:

Name	Type	Desciption	Default value
recursive	Boolean	Recursively search for nested files if dir path passed.	true
verbose	Boolean	Show logging in console/terminal.	true
dotFolders	Boolean	Include dotfolders in file search.	false
dotFiles	Boolean	Include dotfiles in file search.	false
mangle	Boolean	Shorten variable names (typically to one character).	true
comment	String	Header comment to prepend to minified code.	''
