Minify HTML output from Flask application with Jinja2 templates
Found a better way to do this. You can minify all your pages with this method:
from flask import Flaskfrom htmlmin.main import minifyapp = Flask(__name__)@app.after_requestdef response_minify(response): """ minify html response to decrease site traffic """ if response.content_type == u'text/html; charset=utf-8': response.set_data( minify(response.get_data(as_text=True)) ) return response return response
Have a look here https://github.com/cobrateam/django-htmlmin#using-the-html_minify-function
I realise it is mainly used for django but the example shows how to use this projects code to do what you want with a flask view, i think.
Use the decorator.
from htmlmin.decorator import htmlmin@htmlmindef home():...Or you can just use:
re.sub(r'>\s+<', '><', '<tag> </tag>') # results '<tag></tag>'
