Applying minification to all files in a directory

[arnog]

I'm trying to apply html-minifier to all files inside a directory (recursively). I wasn't able to figure out how to do it.

I tried:

minify({
    compressor: htmlMinifier,
    publicFolder: __dirname + '/../stage/**',
    input: '*.html',
    output: '$1.min.html',
    callback: function(err, _min) {
        if (err) console.log(err)
    }
});

But this results in

(node:19076) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\project\stage\**C:\project\stage\index.html'

Trying:

minify({
    compressor: htmlMinifier,
    publicFolder: __dirname + '/../stage/',
    input: '**/*.html',
    output: '$1.min.html',
    callback: function(err, _min) {
        if (err) console.log(err)
    }
});

does not error out, but the output file is created in the top level of the repo.

It would be nice to have an option, like replace-in-file for example, where the list of files to be processed can be specified as a files property which is a glob of the eligible files.

Alternatively, the output property could be optional, in which case the input file is replaced in place.

Landed in 5.0.0

I don't get quite the result I was hoping for. Using the code as in the initial report (second block), it looks like all the output file are created in top-level (public) folder, not in the directory from which they came (when using a glob). So, I'm still looking for a solution that would allow me to apply the minifier to a set of a file in a directory, specified with a glob pattern, and replace them in place with the value of output. Should I re-open a bug or do you want to track it with this one?

I have published 5.2.0 with a new option : replaceInPlace.
This option will save files in same directory than source.

minify({
  compressor: htmlMinifier,
  publicFolder: 'public/html/',
  input: '**/*.html',
  output: '$1.min.html',
  replaceInPlace: true,
  callback: function(err, _min) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    console.log(_min);
  }
});
