eleventy-plugin-files-minifier

This plugin allow you to automatically minify files when builting with Eleventy.
It currently supports css, html, json, xml, xsl and webmanifest files.

Why should you minify your files? Simply to reduce the data transfered between your hosting servers and your visitors,
even if some of them maybe some bots.

Under the hood, this plugin use the following plugins to minify code:

- pretty-data: css, json, xml and webmanifest
- html-minifier: html and xsl

Installation

Install the dependency with NPM:

``shell script
npm install @sherby/eleventy-plugin-files-minifier --save-dev
`

Open up your Eleventy config file (probably .eleventy.js) and use addPlugin:

`javascript
const eleventyPluginFilesMinifier = require("@sherby/eleventy-plugin-files-minifier");
module.exports = (eleventyConfig) => {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyPluginFilesMinifier);
};
`

Usage

The plugin will automatically minify supported files, you don't need to do anything except the installation!

Make sure that the files you want to minify are currently written by Eleventy. If not, you can easily rename it and add
Front matter options. By example, for the manifest.webmanifest file, I could rename it as manifest.webmanifest.njk
and add the following code at his top:

`
---
eleventyExcludeFromCollections: true
permalink: /manifest.webmanifest
---
`

registry:

Dry run

For real (are you really sure?)
