Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be compressing or minifying javascript file using javascriptminifier api in python. All the full source code of the application is given below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to create an app.py file and copy paste the following code

But before that just create a index.js file inside the root directory and copy paste the following code into it

index.js

alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")
alert("hi hello")

app.py

import requests

url = 'https://javascript-minifier.com/raw'
data = {'input': open('index.js', 'rb').read()}
response = requests.post(url, data=data)

f2 = open("index.min.js", "w")
f2.write(response.text)
f2.close()

And now inside this python snippet we are taking the input javascript file and then if you execute python script it will compress and minify it and then it will create the output file inside the root directory

python app.py

After this you will find the output file created which is minified as shown below
