Package description
CSSO (CSS Optimizer) is a CSS minifier. It performs three kinds of optimizations: structural optimizations, reducing CSS size by merging blocks with identical properties, removing overridden properties, etc.; cleaning (removing unused @media rules, cutting out the comments, etc.); and compressing (transforming values to shorter forms, merging identical selectors, etc.). It can be used as a command-line tool or as a library.
Minification
Minifies CSS by removing whitespace, comments, and making other optimizations to reduce file size.
const csso = require('csso');
const minifiedCss = csso.minify('.test { color: #ff0000; }').css;
Structural Optimization
Optimizes CSS structure by merging blocks with identical properties and removing overridden properties.
const csso = require('csso');
const optimizedCss = csso.minify('.test { color: red; } .test { font-size: 16px; }', { restructure: true }).css;
Source Map Generation
Generates a source map that can be used to debug the minified CSS by mapping it back to the original sources.
const csso = require('csso');
const result = csso.minify('.test { color: red; }', { sourceMap: true });
const minifiedCss = result.css;
const map = result.map.toString();
clean-css is a fast and efficient CSS optimizer for Node.js and the Web. It provides similar minification capabilities as CSSO but also offers advanced optimizations like restructuring.
uglifycss is a CSS minifier that aims to be fast and simple. It doesn't have as many features as CSSO, focusing mainly on removing whitespace and comments to compress CSS files.
purifycss is a tool to remove unused CSS. Unlike CSSO, which focuses on optimizing existing CSS, purifycss analyzes your content and CSS files to remove unused selectors.
