I am looking for a css minifier that I could use in rails apps

  • 0

I am looking for a css minifier that I could use in rails apps (not gziper) which doesn’t need a command line YUI compressor instalation.
I am working on a content mangament software where the css is pasted into a textarea and then I want to minify then gzip and send it to amazon.
So those solutions are not OK which use some command line preprocessing…
Any ideas?

Online minifier services are also welcome.

    I think I have found my gem:

    'ruby-yui-compressor'

    All I need to do:

    gem "yui-compressor", "~> 0.9.6", :require => "yui/compressor"
....
compressor = YUI::CssCompressor.new
compressor.compress 'body {line-height: 1}            \ntable {border-collapse: collapse;    border-spacing: 0}'

=> "body{line-height:1}\\ntable{border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0}"
