# CSS::Packer(3pm)

Another CSS minifier

## NAME

CSS::Packer - Another CSS minifier

## VERSION

Version 2.09

## DESCRIPTION

A fast pure Perl CSS minifier.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use CSS::Packer;
    my $packer = CSS::Packer->init();
    $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );
```

To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

```
    my $ret = $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );
```

For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

```
    CSS::Packer::minify( $scalarref, $opts );
```

First argument must be a scalarref of CSS-Code. Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are:

- compress

  Defines compression level. Possible values are 'minify' and 'pretty'. Default value is 'pretty'.

  'pretty' converts

  ```
      a {
      color:          black
      ;}   div
      { width:100px;
      }
  ```

  to

  ```
      a{
      color:black;
      }
      div{
      width:100px;
      }
  ```

  'minify' converts the same rules to

  ```
      a{color:black;}div{width:100px;}
  ```

- indent

  Defines number of spaces, used for indentation. Used only when compress is 'pretty'. Default value is 0.

- copyright

  You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script.

- remove\_copyright

  If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright comment will be overwritten by a copyright notice defined with the copyright option.

- no\_compress\_comment

  If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a CSS comment that prevents the input being packed or defines a compression level.

  ```
      /* CSS::Packer _no_compress_ */
      /* CSS::Packer pretty */
  ```
