django-strip-whitespace 0.0.9

A powerful HTML whitespace remover

HTML Whitespace remover for Django

Introduction :

A powerful tool to optimize HTML

Why use “django_stip_whitespace” ?

• It speeds up website by reducing the HTML size.

• Its mostly based on C ( gzip ) and Rust ( minify-html : https://pypi.org/project/minify-html/ ) libraries

• Can be used with ‘django.middleware.gzip.GZipMiddleware’

• It can automagically minify inline CSS, JS.

• Significantly lower bytes transferred ( 246kb > 16kb ) when working with frameworks like AlpineJs and TailwindCSS

Why souldn’t you use django_stip_whitespace ?

• This Module expects that you write js with line breaks.

So for example if you have a file like this:

<div x-init="
        () => {
            console.log('Hello World')
            console.log("Hello World Again") // This will cause error because theres no ';' to break the line
        }
    "
> </div>

The resulted HTML will have an error and AlpineJS won’t init.

• Disables the use of   in HTML. Although this can be easily mitigated by using CSS pesudo element.

Use this:

selector::before {
    content : '\00a0\00a0'
}

Requirements :

• Brotli

• minify-html

• Django > 3 ( Should work with version 2? )

• Python 3 ( Should work with all version? )
