running minify within a static html page

[denismakogon]

Okay, I'm not using npm, nor running node webserver, but serving static HTML files from an object store.
So, how can I embed uglify-js into that page?

You will have to bundle it in a single javascript file

Any chance that there will be a version that works in a browser? Or are there any alternatives that work in a browser?

Why do you want to minify javascript in the browser?

[denismakogon]

I need to compress code snippets effectively for the sake of programming language playground data effectiveness and code snippets sharing in serverless environments.

From https://lisperator.net/uglifyjs/ :

UglifyJS2 provides a quick way to build itself for the browser:

uglifyjs --self -c -m -o /tmp/uglifyjs.js

Now you have it in /tmp/uglifyjs.js and you can include that single file in a browser.

<script src="uglify.js"></script>

If you need source maps you'll also have to include the Mozilla source-map module.
