Minify for Laravel

Minify for Laravel is a package for minifying and obfuscating Javascript, CSS, HTML and Blade views. It runs automatically when you load a page or view. Increase your website performance on page load and save bandwidth. Obfuscate your Javascript to protect your code from being stolen.

Comparison

This image shows the difference in size between the original file and the minified file of default welcome.blade.php Laravel. The original file size is 28.7 KB and the minified file size is 25.7 KB. The minified file size is 10% smaller than the original file size.

If you minify all your asset files, you can save up to 50% of your bandwidth. This will make your website load faster and save your hosting cost. When you have big files, the difference in size will be even greater.

Installation

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

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

composer require yyqsg888/laravel-minifier

Configuration

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

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelMinifier\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

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
    \LaravelMinifier\Minify\Middleware\MinifyCss::class,
    // Middleware to minify Javascript
    \LaravelMinifier\Minify\Middleware\MinifyJavascript::class,
    // Middleware to minify Blade
    \LaravelMinifier\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.

Usage

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

Enable Minify

You can enable minify by setting minify to true in the config/minify.php file. For example:

"enabled" => env("MINIFY_ENABLED", true),

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'
],
