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!
Begin by installing this package with composer.
composer require nickdekruijk/minify
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.
Publish the config file if the defaults doesn't suite your needs:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NickDeKruijk\Minify\MinifyServiceProvider"
// app/views/hello.blade.php
<html>
<head>
...
{!! Minify::stylesheet(['lightbox.css', 'fonts.css', 'styles.css']) !!}
</head>
...
</html>// app/views/hello.blade.php
<html>
<body>
...
{!! Minify::javascript(['lazyload.min.js', 'scripts.js']) !!}
<!-- Or: -->
{!! Minify::javascript(['https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vanilla-lazyload@12.4.0/dist/lazyload.min.js', 'scripts.js') !!}
</body>
</html>See the config file at /config/minify.php
