minify

⚠️ This plugin is no longer maintained, nor is it compatible with Caddy 2+.

Caddy plugin that implements minification on-the-fly for CSS, HTML, JSON, SVG and XML. It uses tdewolff's library so, let's thank him! You can download this plugin with Caddy on its official download page.

Syntax

minify paths...  {
    if          a cond b
    if_op       [and|or]
    disable     [js|css|html|json|svg|xml]
    minifier    option value
}

• paths are space separated file paths to minify. If nothing is specified, the whole website will be minified.
• if specifies a condition. Multiple ifs are AND-ed together by default. a and b are any string and may use request placeholders. cond is the condition, with possible values explained in rewrite (which also has an if statement).
• if_op specifies how the ifs are evaluated; the default is and.
• disable is used to indicate which minifiers to disable; by default, they're all activated.
• minifier sets value for option on that minifier. When the option is true or false, its omission is trated as true. The possible options are described bellow.

Minifiers options

Minifier(s)	Option	Value	Description
css, svg	decimals	number	Preserves default attribute values.
