django-html is an HTML minifier for Python, with full support for HTML 5. It supports Django, Flask and many other Python web frameworks. It also provides a command line tool, that can be used for static websites or deployment scripts.
One of the important points on client side optimization is to minify HTML. With minified HTML code, you reduce the size of the data transferred from the server to the client, which results in faster load times.
To install django-htmlmin, run this on the terminal: :
.. code-block:: sh
$ [sudo] pip install django-htmlmin
All you need to do is add two middlewares to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and
enable the HTML_MINIFY setting:
.. code-block:: python
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
# other middleware classes
'htmlmin.middleware.HtmlMinifyMiddleware',
'htmlmin.middleware.MarkRequestMiddleware',
)
Note that if you're using Django's caching middleware,
MarkRequestMiddleware should go after FetchFromCacheMiddleware, and
HtmlMinifyMiddleware should go after UpdateCacheMiddleware:
.. code-block:: python
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
'htmlmin.middleware.HtmlMinifyMiddleware',
# other middleware classes
'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
'htmlmin.middleware.MarkRequestMiddleware',
)
You can optionally specify the HTML_MINIFY setting:
.. code-block:: python
HTML_MINIFY = True
The default value for the HTML_MINIFY setting is not DEBUG. You only
need to set it to True if you want to minify your HTML code when DEBUG
is enabled.
If you don't want to minify all views in your app and it's under a /my_app
URL, you can tell the middleware to not minify the response of your views by
adding a EXCLUDE_FROM_MINIFYING setting on your settings.py:
.. code-block:: python
EXCLUDE_FROM_MINIFYING = ('^my_app/', '^admin/')
Regex patterns are used for URL exclusion. If you want to exclude all URLs of
your app, except a specific view, you can use the decorator
@minified_response (check the next section above).
The default behaviour of the middleware is to remove all HTML comments. If you
want to keep the comments, set the setting KEEP_COMMENTS_ON_MINIFYING
to True:
.. code-block:: python
KEEP_COMMENTS_ON_MINIFYING = True
django-htmlmin also provides a decorator, that you can use only on views you want to minify the response:
.. code-block:: python
from htmlmin.decorators import minified_response
@minified_response
def home(request):
return render_to_response('home.html')
You can use the not_minified_response decorator on views if you want to
avoid the minification of any specific response, without using the
EXCLUDE_FROM_MINIFYING setting:
.. code-block:: python
from htmlmin.decorators import not_minified_response
@not_minified_response
def home(request):
return render_to_response('home.html')
html_minify functionIf you are not working with Django, you can invoke the html_minify function
manually:
.. code-block:: python
from htmlmin.minify import html_minify
html = '<html> <body>Hello world</body> </html>'
minified_html = html_minify(html)
Here is an example with a Flask <http://flask.pocoo.org>_ view:
.. code-block:: python
from flask import Flask
from htmlmin.minify import html_minify
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def home():
rendered_html = render_template('home.html')
return html_minify(rendered_html)
By default, html_minify() removes all comments. If you want to keep them,
you can pass ignore_comments=False:
.. code-block:: python
from htmlmin.minify import html_minify
html = '<html> <body>Hello world<!-- comment to keep --></body> </html>'
minified_html = html_minify(html, ignore_comments=False)
If you are not even using Python, you can use the pyminify command line
tool to minify HTML files:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pyminify index.html > index_minified.html
You can also keep the comments, if you want:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pyminify --keep-comments index.html > index_minified_with_comments.html
