Fork of https://github.com/fahlisaputra/laravel-minify

Installation

Minify for Laravel requires PHP 7.2 or higher. This particular version supports Laravel 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x.

To get the latest version, simply require the project using Composer:

composer require djdigitalemedien/laravel-minify

Configuration

Minify for Laravel supports optional configuration. To get started, you'll need to publish all vendor assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="djdigitalemedien\Minify\MinifyServiceProvider"

This will create a config/minify.php file in your app that you can modify to set your configuration. Also, make sure you check for changes to the original config file in this package between releases.

Register the Middleware (Laravel 10 or older)

In order Minify for Laravel can intercept your request to minify and obfuscate, you need to add the Minify middleware to the app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $middleware = [
    ....
    // Middleware to minify CSS
    \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyCss::class,
    // Middleware to minify Javascript
    \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyJavascript::class,
    // Middleware to minify Blade
    \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyHtml::class,
];

You can choose which middleware you want to use. Put all of them if you want to minify html, css, and javascript at the same time.

Register the Middleware (Laravel 11 or newer)

In order Minify for Laravel can intercept your request to minify and obfuscate, you need to add the Minify middleware to the bootstrap/app.php file:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->web(append: [
        \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyHtml::class,
        \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyCss::class,
        \djdigitalemedien\Minify\Middleware\MinifyJavascript::class,
    ]);
})

Usage

This is how you can use Minify for Laravel in your project.

Minify Asset Files

You must set true on assets_enabled in the config/minify.php file to minify your asset files. For example:

"assets_enabled" => env("MINIFY_ASSETS_ENABLED", true),

You can minify your asset files by using the minify() helper function. This function will minify your asset files and return the minify designed route. In order to work properly, you need to put your asset files in the resources/js or resources/css directory. For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ minify('/css/test.css') }}">

where test.css is located in the resources/css directory.

<script src="{{ minify('/js/test.js') }}"></script>

where test.js is located in the resources/js directory.

Automatic Insert Semicolon on Javascript or CSS

Use this option if Minify for Laravel makes your javascript or css not working properly. You can enable automatic insert semicolon on javascript or css by setting true on insert_semicolon in the config/minify.php file. For example:

"insert_semicolon" => [
    'css' => env("MINIFY_CSS_SEMICOLON", true),
    'js' => env("MINIFY_JS_SEMICOLON", true),
],

Caution: this option is experimental. If the code still not working properly, you can disable this option and add semicolon manually to your Javascript or CSS code.

Skip Minify on Blade

You can skip minify on blade by using attribute ignore--minify inside script or style tag. For example:

<style ignore--minify>
    /* css */
</style>

<script ignore--minify>
   /* javascript */
</script>

Skip Minify when Rendering View

You can skip minify when rendering view by passing ignore_minify = true in the view data. For example:

return view('welcome', ['ignore_minify' => true]);

Skip Minify by Route

You can skip minify by route by adding the route name to the ignore array in the config/minify.php file. For example:

"ignore" => [
    '/admin'
],

Custom Directives Replacement

You can replace custom directives by adding the directive name to the directives array in the config/minify.php file. For example in AlpineJS you can write @click="function()". Unfortunately, Minify for Laravel will remove the @ symbol. You can replace it by adding @ => x-on: to the directives array. For example:

"directives" => [
    '@' => 'x-on:',
],

Keep Directives

You can keep directives by adding the directive name to the keep_directives array in the config/minify.php file. For example when you use @vite, you can add @vite to the keep_directives array. For example:

"keep_directives" => [
    '@vite'
],

Known Issues

• Minify for Laravel will remove the @ symbol in the blade file. This will make the blade directive not working properly. You can fix this by adding @ => x-on: to the directives array in the config/minify.php file.
• Does not support for some Javascript framework. You can try experiment by changing the insert_semicolon option to true or false in the config/minify.php file.
