Inputs

Input Description Required Default Value

maxdepth Descend at most levels (a non-negative integer) levels of directories below the starting-points. false "" (empty)
js_engine Specifies which of the supported packages minifies JS files. Supported packages: babel, uglify-js false babel

With the addition of maxdepth, the action traverses by default into all subdirectories in a specified directory.

Follow this example if you want to minify the files in the first level of a certain directory.

Example

Default implementation
steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@master

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/[email protected]
    with:
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}
Specifying Maxdepth
steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@master
    with:
      maxdepth: 1

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/[email protected]
    with:
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}
Specifying output directory
steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@master
    with:
      directory: 'js'

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action
    with:
      repository: 'js'
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Please note that the output will be in the same directory as directory which here is js. Therefore, we will need to update repository in auto committing to also match directory.

With different output directory
steps:
  # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so auto-minify job can access it
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Auto Minify
    uses: nizarmah/auto-minify@master
    with:
      directory: 'js'
      output: 'mini_js'

  # Auto commits minified files to the repository
  # Ignore it if you don't want to commit the files to the repository 
  - name: Auto committing minified files
    uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action
    with:
      repository: 'mini_js'
      commit_message: "Github Action: Auto Minified JS and CSS files"
      branch: ${{ github.ref }}

Please note that the repository when auto comitting has to match output in auto minify
