This package has been deprecated

Author message:

If using newer versions of Ionic (e.g. Ionic 2), you may be better without this dependency, as webpack does all the minifying/uglifying of the application

ionic-minify

Ionic-minify is a derived work of Ross Martin's original cordova-uglify.

Important note

The use of the --release flag is deprecated, use --minify instead.

Changelog

Here you can find the changelog.

ionic-minify is a Cordova hook that minifes Javascript and CSS files, and it compress JPG and PNG images from your Cordova/Phonegap, Ionic or other Hybrid Cordova-based project.

Install

Just run the following command inside your project's root folder:

  npm install ionic-minify --save-dev

Installation Quirks

Sometimes on UNIX systems, installation can result in an error due to permisions and ownership of the files and folders.

When installing on UNIX systems please make sure that the ownership of the files and folders of your project is your user and to run the comand using sudo.

Usage

Just run ionic prepare <platform> or ionic build <platform> with the --minify flag or set the alwaysRun attribute inside the configuration file to true.
