Munch.js

Munch.js is a utility that rewrites classes and ids in CSS, HTML, and JavaScript files in order to save precious bytes and obfuscate your code. based on Craig Campbell's HTML-Muncher.

Install by using npm install -g munch

This module uses Hashids to generate the class and ID names. Just to look more googly.

Please take note that I am not confident that this library is perfect for every kind of project out there. please use sparingly.

This library was made solely for the deployment process, and is done at the first steps before minifying the assets

USAGE

This is a command line utility so it is preferred that you install this globally using the -g flag.

You can run munch using the format below
