grunt-minify-cshtml

Minify ASP.NET Razor Views (.cshtml).

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-minify-cshtml --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-minify-cshtml');

The "minify_cshtml" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named minify_cshtml to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  minify_cshtml: {
    options: {
      comments: true,        // strip comments <!-- -->
      razorComments: true,    // strip razor comments @* *@
      whitespace: true,        // strip whitespaces inbetween markup ><
      linebreaks: true,        // strip double linebreaks \n\n
      dir: 'test',            // base directory usually "Views"
      filetype: '.cshtml',    // filetypes to be replaced
      test: true            // test mode if false it will overwrite the files
    }
  },
});

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do convert all cshtml markup pages.

grunt.initConfig({
  minify_cshtml: {
    options: {
      comments: true,
      razorComments: true,
      whitespace: true,
      linebreaks: true,
      dir: 'Views',
      filetype: '.cshtml',
      test: false
    }
  },
});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
