Usage

Simple example:

let jlto = require('jlto');
let template = `
{{ hello }}
{{   "<John   &   Paul> ?"     | escape   }}
{{ '2.7'   | round }}{%  if  product  %}Product exists.{%  endif  %}
`;
let optimizedTemplate = jlto.optimizeString(template);
// optimizedTemplate:
// `
//{{hello}}
//{{"<John   &   Paul> ?"|escape}}
//{{'2.7'|round}}{%if product%}Product exists.{%endif%}
// `

Example of using minifyHtml option:

let jlto = require('jlto');
let template = `
<div {% if id %}id="{{ id | escape('html_attr') }}"{% endif %} class="section-container {{ classes | join(' ') | html_attribute }}">
  <div class="section-writables">
    {% for writable in writables  %}
      {{ writable | write | raw }}
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
</div>`;
let optimizedTemplate = jlto.optimizeString(template, {minifyHtml: true});
// optimizedTemplate:
// `<div {%if id%} id="{{id|escape('html_attr')}}" {%endif%} class="section-container {{classes|join(' ')|html_attribute}}"><div class="section-writables"> {%for writable in writables%} {{writable|write|raw}} {%endfor%} </div></div>`

Example of "nunjucks" templates minification with the custom GruntJS task:

module.exports = (grunt) => {
  grunt.registerTask('min-nunjucks', 'Min nunjucks templates', () => {
    let jlto = require('jlto');
    let fs = require('fs');
    let glob = require('glob');
    let done = this.async();
    glob('./**/*.nunjucks.html', (error, files) => {
      files.forEach((filePath) => {
        let fileContent;
        fileContent = fs.readFileSync(filePath).toString();
        try {
          fileContent = jlto.optimizeString(fileContent, {minifyHtml: true});
          fs.writeFileSync(filePath, fileContent);
        } catch (ignored) {}
      });
      return done();
    });
  });
};
