🎨 CSS Formatter

📚 User Guide

Features

• Beautify: Add indentation and line breaks, make CSS more readable
• Minify: Remove spaces, line breaks and comments, reduce file size

Beautify Example

Compressed CSS:

.container{margin:0 auto;padding:20px;}.header{background:#333;color:#fff;}
                

After beautify:

.container {
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
}

.header {
  background: #333;
  color: #fff;
}
                

Minify Techniques

• Remove all spaces and line breaks
• Remove comments
• Simplify color values (#ffffff → #fff)
• Remove unnecessary units (0px → 0)
• Merge same rules

Use Cases

• Development: Use beautified format, easy to read and maintain
• Production: Use minified format, reduce file size
• Code Review: Easier to find issues after beautify
• Learning: Beautify before analyzing others' code

Performance Optimization

• Always minify CSS in production
• Use Gzip or Brotli for further compression
• Consider using CSS preprocessors (Sass, Less)
• Use PostCSS for automation

Best Practices

• Keep code formatted during development
• Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces)
• Organize selector order properly
• Add necessary comments
• Auto minify during build
