lua-minify is a Lua library to minify html5 and css3. It's written in pure Lua 5.3, and it's written using test-driven development.
The project's name isn't definitive, and might/will change, as there are already a few projects named lua-minify.
Before you start using lua-minify, you need to know a few assumptions that it makes:
- You don't mess with the
white-spaceCSS property. Only<pre>tags will keep the data as it is in the source file. - You don't put code in comments (IE's conditional comments are stupid, why are you even trying to support IE?)
- It doesn't optimize inline javascript. You probably shouldn't be using inline javascript anyway.
- It doesn't support non-standard tags: if you use a framework like vue, and you
create a tag starting with
pre(for exemple), it will break the parser. - It doesn't support twig/jinja/django and other templating engines. you should only use lua-minify on pure HTML5 and CSS3.
Everything should pretty much work as-is. CSS isn't optimized, since the CSS minifier isn't written yet.
