Jekyll Uglify Filter

This Jekyll plugin creates an uglify Liquid Template filter. I use it to minify JavaScript for inlining.

Installation

1. Add _plugins/uglify.rb to your Jekyll site's _plugins directory
2. Add this to Jekyll's _config.yml file:

plugins:
  - uglifier

3. Add gem "uglifier" to your Gemfile
4. Run bundle install

Usage

The uglify filter runs a string of JavaScript through the Uglifier Gem and returns it. I use it to minify JavaScript for inlining:

{% capture scripts %}
  {% include main.js %}
{% endcapture %}
<script>{{ scripts | uglify | strip }}</script>
