lz-string-unsafe

LZ-based (unsafe) compression algorithm for JavaScript

Forked version

This fork is copied directly from https://github.com/JobLeonard/lz-string/tree/array-lookup branch.

We slapped a -fork-{local change index} suffix on the last version and pushed it to npm. The {local change index} is incremented whenever we make a change to the fork.

Why? Because we needed to include this library in our Stylus extension and every library we use needs to have a proper source location with a release (that isn't a beta version).

Install via npm

$ npm install -g lz-string-unsafe
$ lz-string-unsafe input.js > output.txt

Development

The lz-string-unsafe.js file in the root directory was modified independently of the source files located in the libs folder.

To create the lz-string-unsafe.min.js file, use the following in the command line:

$ npm run minify

This uses uglify-es to compress & create the minified file.

Open the tests/SpecRunner-unsafe.html file in the browser to test the minified file, since this is the version we're using in Stylus.
