Introduction

The CSS Minify and Map NPM package provides a simple way to minify your CSS files and automatically generate source maps. It removes unnecessary whitespace, comments, and optimizes CSS files for better performance, ensuring that the original file structure can still be traced using the accompanying source maps.

Features

• Minifies CSS files by removing comments and redundant spaces.
• Automatically generates source maps to maintain readability for debugging.
• Recursively processes entire directories to find and minify all .css files.
• CLI integration for ease of use in any project.

Installation

To install the package, use npm:

npm install minify-css-map

Or use yarn:

yarn add minify-css-map

Usage

JavaScript API

You can use the CSS Minify and Map package programmatically within your Node.js projects.

import { minifyCssFile } from 'minify-css-map';

// Minify a specific CSS file
minifyCssFile('/path/to/styles.css');

CLI Usage

The package also provides a command-line interface for quick usage.

npx minify-css-map <target-directory>
npx minify-css-map . # Minify all CSS files in the current directory

This will recursively process all .css files in the given directory and create .min.css and .css.map files.
