Usage

JavaScript Bundle

Bundle and minify multiple JavaScript files:

open Suave.Filters
open Suave.Minify

let app : WebPart =
    path "/jsbundle" >=> jsBundle [ "js/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"; "js/chess.js"; "js/app.js" ]

Manual Compression

You can also use the lower-level compress function directly:

open Suave.Minify

// Compress a list of JavaScript files
let minifiedJs = compress [ "path/to/file1.js"; "path/to/file2.js" ] "*.js"

// Compress a list of CSS files  
let minifiedCss = compress [ "path/to/file1.css"; "path/to/file2.css" ] "*.css"
