# html-minimizer-webpack-plugin

This plugin uses [html-minifier-terser](https://github.com/terser/html-minifier-terser) to optimize and minify your HTML.

## Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install `html-minimizer-webpack-plugin`:

```console
$ npm install html-minimizer-webpack-plugin --save-dev
```

Then add the plugin to your `webpack` configuration. For example:

**webpack.config.js**

```js
const HtmlMinimizerPlugin = require("html-minimizer-webpack-plugin");
const CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.html$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "file-loader",
            options: {
              name: "[name].[ext]",
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    new CopyPlugin({
      patterns: [
        {
          context: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
          from: "./src/*.html",
        },
      ],
    }),
  ],
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      // For webpack@5 you can use the `...` syntax to extend existing minimizers (i.e. `terser-webpack-plugin`), uncomment the next line
      // `...`
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin(),
    ],
  },
};
```

This will enable HTML optimization only in production mode.
If you want to run it also in development set the `optimization.minimize` option to `true`.

And run `webpack` via your preferred method.

## Options

### `test`

Type: `String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>` - default: `/\.html(\?.*)?$/i`

Test to match files against.

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        test: /\.foo\.html/i,
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

### `include`

Type: `String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>`
Default: `undefined`

Files to include.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        include: /\/includes/,
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

### `exclude`

Type: `String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>`
Default: `undefined`

Files to exclude.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        exclude: /\/excludes/,
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

### `parallel`

Type: `Boolean|Number`
Default: `true`

Use multi-process parallel running to improve the build speed.
Default number of concurrent runs: `os.cpus().length - 1`.

> ℹ️ Parallelization can speedup your build significantly and is therefore **highly recommended**.

#### `Boolean`

Enable/disable multi-process parallel running.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        parallel: true,
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

#### `Number`

Enable multi-process parallel running and set number of concurrent runs.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        parallel: 4,
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

### `minify`

Type: `Function`
Default: `undefined`

Allows you to override default minify function.
By default plugin uses [html-minifier-terser](https://github.com/terser/html-minifier-terser) package.
Useful for using and testing unpublished versions or forks.

> ⚠️ **Always use `require` inside `minify` function when `parallel` option enabled**.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizerOptions: {
          collapseWhitespace: true,
        },
        minify: (data, minimizerOptions) => {
          const htmlMinifier = require("html-minifier-terser");
          const [[filename, input]] = Object.entries(data);

          return htmlMinifier.minify(input, minimizerOptions);
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```

### `minimizerOptions`

Type: `Object`
Default: `{ caseSensitive: true, collapseWhitespace: true, conservativeCollapse: true, keepClosingSlash: true, minifyCSS: true, minifyJS: true, removeComments: true, removeScriptTypeAttributes: true, removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes: true, }`

`Html-minifier-terser` optimisations [options](https://github.com/terser/html-minifier-terser#options-quick-reference).

```js
module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new HtmlMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizerOptions: {
          collapseWhitespace: false,
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};
```
