JS CSS Compressor

CLI command to compress javascript, css, scss at once. Based on json file to map which files to compress and where to save the result

how to install

1. install npm (Node Package Manager) = [https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node]
2. install this package npm install -g esoftplay-packer

how to use

You have to use terminal, see the usage example below:

pack [option] [source] [destination]

compress many files based on config

pack [option] directory/where/tosave/config.js

compress file and spit out the result

pack [option] path/to/file/javascript.js

pack [option] path/to/file/style.css

compress and save the result to other file

pack [option] path/to/file/javascript.js path/destination/output.min.js

pack [option] path/to/file/style.css path/destination/output.min.css

compress and save result in same directory

this will result jsfilename.min.js : pack [option] path/to/file/jsfilename.js ./

this will result cssfilename.min.css : pack [option] path/to/file/cssfilename.css ./

options

• no-option = You can use this command in any directory with config.js file inside, so you don't need to use any argument
• -c --compress = Deep compression method to optimize the size, make sure the code is clean with no errors
• -u --unpack = Unpack the compress file which is already compressed. only work for single file per command
• -w --watch = Watch for changes on sources, the packer will be executed each time the file is accessed
• -h --help = Display help

example config.js

module.exports = {
	source: "/absolute/path/source/", // determine source path, without this key system will consider in the same directory where this file is placed
	dest: {
		path: __dirname + "/destination/", // determine the destination path if it's the same as the source then empty it or don't use this key
		css: "style.min.css", // specify the compressed filename of all css and scss then save the file in dest.path + "css/", default value is 'style.css'
		js: "script.min.js" // specify the compressed filename of js files then save the file in dest.path + "jss/", default value is 'script.js'
	},
	jscompress : 2, // 1=uglify, 2=packer (compression method)
	jsnocheck : 0, // 1=direct compress, 0=check before compress
	watch : 0, // 1=Watch for changes, 0=Exit after compress
