Hi @dire terrace. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Yes, it is possible to strip whitespace from the HTML produced by your Astro components. This can be achieved by enabling the compressHTML option in your Astro configuration. When this option is enabled, Astro will remove all whitespace from your HTML, including line breaks. This occurs both in development mode and in the final build.
Here is how you can enable this in your config:
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config"
export default defineConfig({
compressHTML: true,
})
Please note that this option will not compress HTML produced by framework components. However, you can write a middleware (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/middleware/) to compress HTML responses.
