Minify step for wercker

This wercker step minifies static resources like HTML, CSS and JS files.

This step is designed to be used with a static site generator like Jekyll or hugo. You can configure it to fit your needs.

Configuration

All parameters are optional. Don't put them in your wercker.yml to use the default values.

basedir: The directory containing the website to be minified. Default is public.
threads: The number of simultaneous operations. Put this between quotes (e.g. "4"). Default is the number of cores of the host.
htmlargs: The arguments for html-minifier. Default is --use-short-doctype --remove-style-link-type-attributes --remove-script-type-attributes --remove-comments --minify-css --minify-js --collapse-whitespace --remove-comments-from-cdata --conservative-collapse --remove-cdatasections-from-cdata.
yuiargs: The arguments for yuicompressor. No arguments by default.
html: Set this to false to disable HTML minification. Default is true.
css: Set this to false to disable CSS minification (CSS in HTML files will still be minified if you don't change html or htmlargs). Default is true
js: Set this to false to disable JS minification (JS in HTML files will still be minified if you don't change html or htmlargs). Default is true
htmlext: The extension of the HTML files to be minified. Default is html.
cssext: The extension of the CSS files to be minified. Default is css.

    - samueldebruyn/minify:
        basedir: _site
        threads: "3"

Old Wercker infrastructure example

box: wercker/default
build:
  steps:
    - samueldebruyn/minify:
        basedir: _site
        threads: "3"

How it works

This script uses html-minifier to minify HTML files and yuicompressor to minify CSS and JS files. This also means that the script installs node, curl and java if they aren't already installed.

The script should work on any OS using apt-get or yum as package managers.
