Compressit

Compressit provides a simple way to compress your project .css and .js files to not only reduce their size, but also reduce web requests improving the overall performance of your site.

Features

Command Line Input (CLI)
Reduce filesize of all css/js files
Reduces number of necissary requests to servers for assets
Support for single or multiple file compression

Install

Rails (discontinued support)

NOTE: This will still work with Rails, however I have discontinued a specific rails ‘integration’ due to a very similar feature being added with the release of Rails 3.1

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'compressit'

Then do a bundle install:

bundle install

Non Rails

gem install compressit

Usage

Usage: compressit -command [FILE/DIR]

  -h, --help 							Display this help
  -v, --version 						Display current gem version
  -f, --file FILE 					Compress FILE in place
  -F, --files DIR 					Compress files from DIR into DIR/compressed

TODO

May add a better versioning system
Initially had the ability to specify a destination folder, may add this back if requested
Tests
[X]One final pass of cleanup and refactoring
Implement the ability to skip files in the compression process
It would be awesome if it could replace all your current css/js calls with itself so you didn’t have to (we’ll see about this)
