auto-minify

Minifies JS and CSS files with Babel-Minify and CleanCSS

Inputs

Input	Description	Required	Default Value
directory	Directory that contains the files you want to minify.	false	. ( current directory )
output	Directory that contains the minified files.	false	same as directory
overwrite	Overwrites the existing files with the minified version. Defaults to false.	false	false
maxdepth	Descend at most levels (a non-negative integer) levels of directories below the starting-points.	false	"" (empty)
js_engine	Specifies which of the supported packages minifies JS files. Supported packages: babel, uglify-js	false	babel

With the addition of maxdepth, the action traverses by default into all subdirectories in a specified directory.

Follow this example if you want to minify the files in the first level of a certain directory.

Example

Default implementation

steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@v2.1

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
    with:
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Overwriting Existing Files

steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@v2.1
    with:
      overwrite: true

  # Auto commits minified content to the existing files
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
    with:
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Specifying Maxdepth

steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@v2.1
    with:
      maxdepth: 1

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
    with:
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Specifying input directory

steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@v2.1
    with:
      directory: 'js'

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
    with:
      repository: 'js'
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Please note that the output will be in the same directory as directory which here is js. Therefore, we will need to update repository in auto committing to also match directory.

With different output directory

steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@v2.1
    with:
      directory: 'js'
      output: 'mini_js'

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
    with:
      repository: 'mini_js'
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Please note that the repository when auto comitting has to match output in auto minify
