Inliner

Turns your web page to a single HTML file with everything inlined - perfect for appcache manifests on mobile devices that you want to reduce those http requests.

What it does

• Get a list of all the assets required to drive the page: CSS, JavaScript, images, videos and images used in CSS
• Minify JavaScript (via uglify-js)
• Strips white from CSS
• Base64 encode images and videos
• Puts everything back together as a single HTML file with a simplfied doctype

Installation

Install the inliner utility via npm:

$ npm install -g inliner

Usage

If you have either installed via npm or put the inliner bin directory in your path, then you can use inliner via the command line as per:

inliner http://remysharp.com

This will output the inlined markup with default options. You can see more options on how to disable compression or how not to base64 encode images using the help:

inliner --help

To use inline inside your own script:

var Inliner = require('inliner');

new Inliner('http://remysharp.com', function (error, html) {
  // compressed and inlined HTML page
  console.log(html);
});

Or:

var inliner = new Inliner('http://remysharp.com');

inliner.on('progress', function (event) {
  console.error(event);
}).on('end', function (html) {
  // compressed and inlined HTML page
  console.log(html);
});

Once you've inlined the crap out of the page, you can optionally configure a service worker to add advanced caching and offline functionality.

Support

• Collapses all white space in HTML (except inside <pre> elements)
• Strips all HTML comments
• Pulls JavaScript and CSS inline to HTML
• Compresses JavaScript via uglify (if not compressed already)
• Converts all images and videos to based64 data urls, inline images, video poster images and CSS images
• Imports all @import rules from CSS (recusively)
• Applies media query rules (for print, tv, etc media types)
• Leaves conditional comments in place
• If JavaScript can't be imported (or is Google Analytics), source is not put inline

Limitations / Caveats

• Whitespace compression might get a little heavy handed - all whitespace is collapsed from n spaces to 1 space.
