karma-gzip-preprocessor

karma-gzip-preprocessor

A Karma preprocessor for compressing test assets.

Particularly handy when working with large test bundles and remote browser-cloud services like Browserstack or Saucelabs.

Installation

npm install karma-gzip-preprocessor --save-dev

Requirements

Since karma-gzip-preprocessor has a minimum requirement of karma v3.1.0.

For older versions of karma, see the README for karma-gzip v2.

Configuration

To enable gzip compression, all you need to do is add gzip as a preprocessor in your karma config.

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    files: [
      'src/**/*.test.js'
    ],
    // The plugins config property is optional, but if it is included it must include 'karma-gzip-preprocessor'
    plugins: [
      'karma-gzip-preprocessor',
    ],
    preprocessors: {
      'src/**/*.js': ['gzip'],
      // The `gzip` preprocessor should always be the last preprocessor
      '*.coffee': ['coffee', 'gzip'],
    },
  });
};

Verify your assets are gzipped when you see output simmilar to the following:

$ karma start

INFO [preprocessor.gzip]: compressed /MyProject/src/polyfills.js [2MB -> 437KB]
INFO [preprocessor.gzip]: compressed /MyProject/src/index.test.js [5MB -> 1MB]
