Minify CSS
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-contrib-cssmin --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-cssmin');
Issues with the output should be reported on the clean-css issue tracker.
Run this task with the grunt cssmin
command.
Options are passed to clean-css. In addition this task defines some extra options:
Type: string
Choices: 'min'
, 'gzip'
Default: 'min'
Report minification result or both minification and gzip results.
This is useful to see exactly how well clean-css is performing but using 'gzip'
will make the task take 5-10x longer to complete. Example output.
Type: boolean
Choices: true
, false
Default: false
Enable Source Maps.
