High-performance in-memory stateless file optimization middleware and utility library
A high-performance, completely stateless file optimization and minification engine for Node.js. Condense handles images, video, audio, and code natively in-memory (RAM) using Buffers and Streams, completely bypassing the local server disk.
It can be run as a standalone API server via CLI, mounted inside an existing Express application as a router, or used directly in your codebase via programmatic utility functions.
data-condense-ignore to any HTML tag (or /* condense-ignore */ in JS/CSS) to prevent minification on a per-element or per-file basis.Media optimization now bundles FFmpeg directly inside the package using ffmpeg-static, so you do not need to install ffmpeg globally for media workflows.
If you are running on an unusual platform not supported by ffmpeg-static, you may still need a system FFmpeg installed.
npm install @studioframes/condense
Run a dedicated Condense microservice directly from your terminal:
npx @studioframes/condense
Defaults to port 3000. You can configure the port using the PORT environment variable:
PORT=8080 npx @studioframes/condense
Mount Condense directly onto an existing Express application router:
const express = require('express');
const { condenseApp } = require('@studioframes/condense');
const app = express();
// Mount all optimization routes under a specific path
app.use('/v1', condenseApp);
app.listen(8080, () => {
console.log('App running. POST files to http://localhost:8080/v1/optimize');
});
Import the low-level processing functions to optimize Buffers directly inside your codebase without HTTP routing:
const { optimizeImage, optimizeText, optimizeMediaStream } = require('@studioframes/condense');
// 1. Optimize an Image Buffer (returns Buffer)
const { buffer: imgBuffer, outMime: imgMime } = await optimizeImage(rawImageBuffer, 'image/png', 'extreme');
// 2. Optimize an HTML / CSS / JS Buffer (returns Buffer)
const { buffer: textBuffer, outMime: textMime } = await optimizeText(rawHtmlBuffer, 'text/html', 'quality');
// 3. Optimize Audio / Video (returns PassThrough Stream)
const { stream, outMime: mediaMime } = optimizeMediaStream(rawVideoBuffer, 'video/mp4', 'quality');
Condense supports local directives so that specific code segments are not modified during minification.
Add the data-condense-ignore attribute to any tag (or the root <html> tag to ignore the whole file). Condense protects that tag and all its nested children:
<!-- This div, the image, and the text will be returned exactly as-is -->
<div data-condense-ignore class="uncompressed-layout">
<p> Some formatted text here. </p>
<img src="large-photo.jpg">
</div>
<!-- This will be compressed normally -->
<p>This paragraph gets minified.</p>
Add the /* condense-ignore */ comment anywhere inside your JS or CSS file to bypass minification entirely:
/* condense-ignore */
function legacyCode() {
// This file will not be altered
var x = 10;
}
