The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise
The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.
node-minify-tag
Advanced tools
You can use this code to minify your css and js code between begin and end comment tags in a given html file.
Minifier of js, css, html.
It is a wrapper for the gorgeous node-minify.
You can use it programmatic as script or as CLI.
Advantage / Motivation: Instead of separate mapping files and html code the needed informations can be set with help of html comments:
<html>
<head>
<!-- node-minify-tag-glob( {"htmlOut": "_index1.prod.html"} ) -->
...
<title>index1</title>
...
<!-- node-minify-tag( {"fileOut":"_abc1.min.css", "type": "no-compress"} ) -->
<link href="css/base.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/base2.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- node-minify-tag-end -->
</head>
<body>
...
<!-- node-minify-tag( {"fileOut":"_abc.min.js", "type": "no-compress"} ) -->
<script src="js/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script src="js/base.js"></script>
<script src="js/base2.js"></script>
<!-- node-minify-tag-end -->
...
var minifyTag = require('node-minify-tag');
// HTML in and out file are explicitly specified:
// No need for 'node-minify-tag-glob' tag:
minifyTag.minify({
relativeBaseDir: "demo",
htmlIn: "abc.dev.html",
htmlOut: "__abc.prod.html",
encoding: "utf8",
mergeNgIncludes: true
},
function (err, msg){
if (err) return reject(err);
resolve(msg);
});
// Glob mode:
// minifyByGlob walk through the sub directories
// and looks for all file matching 'filePattern'.
// The 'htmlOut' file for each 'htmlIn' must be specified
// in an 'node-minify-tag-glob' comment tag
minifyTag.minifyByGlob({
relativeBaseDir: "../../Xy/",
filePattern: "**/*.dev.html",
encoding: "utf8",
mergeNgIncludes: true
},
function (err, msg){
if (err) return reject(err);
resolve(msg);
});
