grunt-contrib-cssmin v0.14.0

Minify CSS

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.0

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.

Cssmin task

Run this task with the grunt cssmin command.

Options

Options are passed to clean-css. In addition this task defines some extra options:

report

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.

sourceMap

Type: boolean
Choices: true, false
Default: false

Enable Source Maps.

sourceMapIn

Type: boolean, function
Choices: true, false, function Default: undefined

Method for processing existing sourceMap. When set to true cssmin looks for the location of the sourceMap by parsing the sourceMappingURL and reading that file from disk (relative to input CSS file).

When a function is supplied cssmin calls this function with the filename of the input CSS file as argument. The function is expected to return a value that is supplied to clean-css as sourceMap argument. See clean-css documentation for further explanation.

Note: this property only works when sourceMap is also set to true.

Usage

Combine two files into one output file

cssmin: {
  options: {
    shorthandCompacting: false,
    roundingPrecision: -1
  },
  target: {
    files: {
      'output.css': ['foo.css', 'bar.css']
    }
  }
}

Minify all contents of a release directory and add a .min.css extension

cssmin: {
  target: {
    files: [{
      expand: true,
      cwd: 'release/css',
      src: ['*.css', '!*.min.css'],
      dest: 'release/css',
      ext: '.min.css'
    }]
  }
}
