# Minify CSS plugin for Publish

A [Publish](https://github.com/johnsundell/publish) plugin to minify CSS files in the output folder.

This leaves the original CSS files untouched and thus human-readable. Minifying the CSS files in the output folder comes with the benefit of reduced filesize and therefore a decreased loading time of your website.

## Installation

To install it into your [Publish](https://github.com/johnsundell/publish) package, add it as a dependency within your `Package.swift` manifest:

```swift

let package = Package(

    ...

    dependencies: [

        ...

        .package(name: "MinifyCSSPublishPlugin", url: "https://github.com/labradon/minifycsspublishplugin", from: "0.1.0")

    ],

    targets: [

        .target(

            ...

            dependencies: [

                ...

                "MinifyCSSPublishPlugin"

            ]

        )

    ]

    ...

)

```

Then import MinifyCSSPublishPlugin wherever you’d like to use it:

```swift

import MinifyCSSPublishPlugin

```

For more information on how to use the Swift Package Manager, check out [this article](https://www.swiftbysundell.com/articles/managing-dependencies-using-the-swift-package-manager), or [its official documentation](https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/tree/master/Documentation).

## Usage

The plugin can then be used within any publishing pipeline like this:

```swift

import MinifyCSSPublishPlugin

...

try Website().publish(using: [

    ...

    .installPlugin(.minifyCSS()),

    ...

])

```

Note, that the css files must already be present in the output folder at the corresponding step in the publishing pipeline. It is therefore best to add this step after `.copyResources()` (or `.generateHTML(...)` if you're using a theme with bundled css files).

The wildcard `.minifyCSS()` method minifies all css files in the top level of the output folder. If you wish to minify all css files in a subfolder of the output folder, use `.minifyCSS(in: ...)`.

```swift

import MinifyCSSPublishPlugin

...

try Website().publish(using: [

    ...

    .installPlugin(.minifyCSS(in: "styles")),

    ...

])

```

If you wish to minify a specific css file, use `.minifyCSS(at: ...)`.

```swift

import MinifyCSSPublishPlugin

...

try Website().publish(using: [

    ...

    .installPlugin(.minifyCSS(at: "styles/layout.css")),

    ...

])

```
