Hi guys,
I just want to share a gulp recipe to minify css using the CleanCSS library, with the help of vinyl-map (a really useful library by @hughsk that you can use adapt most nodejs modules to work into your gulp streams)
var gulp = require('gulp');
var CleanCSS = require('clean-css');
var map = require('vinyl-map');
gulp.task('minify-css' , function minifyCSSTask() {
// this snippet basically replaces `gulp-minify-css`
var minify = map(function (buff, filename) {
return new CleanCSS({
// specify your clean-css options here
}).minify(buff.toString());
});
return gulp.src('css/**/*.css')
.pipe(minify)
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});This helps to reduce the need for a gulp-plugin wrapping around clean-css and allows you to use clean-css outside of your gulpfile.js
