This package is [pure ESM](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c). If you're not ready yet, install an older version of this program, 1.5.0 (`npm i string-uglify@1.5.0`).

```bash
npm i string-uglify
```

## Quick Take

```js
import { strict as assert } from "node:assert";

import { uglifyArr } from "string-uglify";

// notice we put dots and hashes for classes and id's but algorithm will work
// fine too if you won't.
const names = [
  ".module-promo-all",
  ".module-promo-main",
  ".module-promo-second",
  "#zzz",
];

assert.deepEqual(uglifyArr(names), [".o", ".s", ".z", "#l"]);
```
