Advanced tools
Post-processor that minifies classes and IDs in CSS, HTML, Javascript and SVG files.
Post-processor that minifies classes and IDs selector names in CSS, HTML, Javascript and SVG files. minify-selectors aims to offer comprehensive out of the box support with minimal fuss.
Enhance your front-end assets and build optimisations pipeline — wring even more out from your already minified and optimised payload sizes. Additionally can offer a certain degree of obfuscation to your code.

In cases where minify-selectors is unable to parse selectors, for example: in custom HTML attributes or JS variables. Or forcing a selector to be encoded when it otherwise would not be, such as in a HTML code element or comments. You can prefix your selector names so that minify-selectors knows to parse it and how to encode it:
.__-- or #__-- instead of the selector type ('#' or '.') before selector names__class-- or __id-- for "name only" selectors, use '__class--' for class selectors and '__id--' for ID selectors|
Input <main class="page page-dark">
<button
class="btn btn-warning"
data-toggle="modal"
data-target="#__--prompt-delete-user">
</button>
</main>
<script>
view.className = isDarkMode
? '__class--page __class--page--dark'
: '__class--page __class--page--light';
</script>
|
Output: <main class="b2 b3">
<button
class="a4 a7"
data-toggle="modal"
data-target="#bc">
</button>
</main>
<script>
view.className = isDarkMode
? 'b2 b3'
: 'b2 b4;
</script>

Or, you do not want minify-selectors to encode certain selectors (for reasons such as SEO). You can prefix your selector names so minify-selectors will leave the name as is (the prefix will be omitted):
.__ignore-- and #__ignore-- instead of the selector type ('#' or '.') before selector names__ignore-- for selectors that are "name only"|
Input <nav class="site-nav"> <a href="/faq/#__ignore--new-user"><a> <nav> |
Output: <nav class="b"> <a href="/faq/#new-user"><a> </div> |
Please note:
- minify-selectors only supports regular CSS, HTML, JS and SVG files. SASS/SCSS, LESS, TypeScript, JQuery, Handlebars, etc. should be compiled or transpiled first into its respective vanilla form.
- minify-selectors is currently limited to UTF-8 encoded files.
