An aggressive JavaScript minifier for code golf.

golfy is a program that converts the input code into code optimized for code golf.

Example

The following code
``

javascript
const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync('/dev/stdin');
console.log(input);


can be transformed as follows

javascript
console.log(require("fs").readFileSync(0))


Goals

The goals of this project are as follows:
- Shorter code over stability
- Optimization of the output over processing time
- The shortest possible expression, even if it's hacky
The things this project does not aim for:
- Ensuring compatibility across various runtime environments and backward compatibility
- Maintaining internal implementation consistency with the input code (as long as the same input produces the same output, it's fine)
- Execution performance (code length takes priority)
Usage
> [!WARNING]  
> WIP project and is highly experimental and unstable.

`sh npm install -g golfy
