minify-selectors

Post-processor that minifies classes and IDs in CSS, HTML and Javascript files.
Post-processor that minifies classes and IDs selector names in CSS, HTML and Javascript files. Each unique identifier — and any subsequent occurances — is converted to an ultracompact CSS valid selector name.
Please note: minify-selectors only supports regular CSS, HTML and JS files. minify-selectors should be one of the final steps in your build process — SASS/SCSS, LESS, Typescript, JQuery, Handlebars, etc. should be compiled or transpiled first into its respective vanilla form.

| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--input (or -i) | Directory or file to process. If a directory path is provided — any CSS, HTML and JS files in the given directory and sub-directories will be parsed. If only a filepath is provided — only the given file will be parsed. |
--output (or -o) | Directory to ouput processed files to. Setting the output path to be the same as the input path will overwrite existing files. |
--alphabet | Custom sequence of characters to use when encoding. By default, selector names will be encoded using the following base 62 string: "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" |
--start-index | Index to start incrementing and encoding from. By default, this will begin from 0 (essentially a if using the default alphabet). |
