> PostCss plugin to minify your CSS

Compression will be handled by **[clean-css][clean-css]**, which according to [this benchmark](http://goalsmashers.github.io/css-minification-benchmark) is one of the top (probably the best) libraries for minifying CSS.

## Install

With [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/postcss-clean) do:

```

npm install postcss-clean --save

```

## Example

### Input

```css

.try {

  color: #607d8b;

  width: 32px;

}

```

### Output

```css

.try{color:#607d8b;width:32px}

```

### Input

```css

:host {

  display: block;

}

:host ::content {

  & > * {

    color: var(--primary-color);

  }

}

```

### Output

```css

:host{display:block}:host ::content>*{color:var(--my-color)}

```

**Note** this example assumes you combined postcss-clean with other plugins (e.g. [postcss-nesting][postcss-nesting]).

## API

### `clean([options])`

Note that **postcss-clean** is an asynchronous processor. It cannot be used like this:

```javascript

var out = postcss([ clean() ]).process(css).css;

console.log(out)

```

Instead make sure your runner uses the async APIs:

```javascript

postcss([ clean() ]).process(css).then(function(out) {

    console.log(out.css);

});

```

#### options

It simply proxies the [clean-css][clean-css] options. See the complete list of options [here][clean-css-opts].

## Usage

See the [PostCSS documentation](https://github.com/postcss/postcss#usage) for examples for your environment.
