Simple Mini

A lazy man's minify

go get github.com/romainmenke/simple-mini

I needed a tool to remove whitespace from css and js files for golang web projects. I did't want a transpiler and I didn't want to add node as a dependency. Since everything is gzipped anyway I also didn't want to minify naming.

it loops over all files in a directory
removes whitespace
saves to .min version

I use it with //go:generate simple-mini and modd.

Options

-h : help
-source : source directory
-out : output directory
trailing args : exclusion -> simple must not contain logic

It removes :

tabs
linebreaks

It replaces :

double spaces with single spaces
