README

A simple package to minify CSS/SCSS and Javascript on the fly without the need of tools like Laravel Mix or Webpack. It combines all stylesheet files or javascript files into a single, minified file with simple but effective cachebusting with filemtime().

Version 2 is a completely new package (version 1 is archived here) using scssphp/scssphp and tedivm/jshrink. Because minify now replaces natxet/cssmin with scssphp it can now compile SASS/SCSS code too!

Installation

Begin by installing this package with composer.

composer require nickdekruijk/minify

Upgrading from 1.x

When upgrading change your projects composer.json to require nickdekruijk/minify with at least version "^2.0" and run composer update.

If you use .gitignore to ignore the old builds in js/builds and css/builds dont' forget to remove them from your .gitignore file and delete all obsolete build .css and .js files.

You may also need to change the Minify::stylesheet and Minify::javascript calls in your code/views since pathname might change depending on your configuration.
