Gulp task to minify CSS styles with clean-css
npm install gulp-cleancss> Gulp task to minify CSS styles with clean-css.
^3.0.0If you haven't used Gulp before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gulpfile as well as install and use Gulp plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
``shell`
npm install gulp-cleancss --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be required inside your Gulpfile with this line of JavaScript:
`js`
var cleanss = require('gulp-cleancss');
`javascript
var htmlmin = require('gulp-htmlmin');
var cleanss = require('gulp-cleancss');
gulp.task('styles:dist', function() {
gulp.src('{,/}.css')
.pipe(cleancss({keepBreaks: false}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
``
Options are passed directly to clean-css.
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality.
