laravel-compress-html
=====================

[](#laravel-compress-html)

Laravel integration for [`akankov/html-min`](https://packagist.org/packages/akankov/html-min) — adds a Blade `@htmlmin` block directive, an opt-in HTML response middleware, and a publishable config-driven service provider.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP `8.3.* || 8.4.* || 8.5.*`
- Laravel 12.x or 13.x
- `akankov/html-min` `^2.8`

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require akankov/laravel-compress-html
```

The service provider is registered automatically via Laravel's package auto-discovery (`extra.laravel.providers` in `composer.json`); no manual `config/app.php` edit is needed.

Optionally publish the config file to tune the 29 minifier toggles:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=htmlmin-config
```

This drops `config/htmlmin.php` into your application — every key defaults to the engine's default, so you only need to edit the ones you want to flip.

Blade directive
---------------

[](#blade-directive)

```
@htmlmin

    {{ $user->name }}

@endhtmlmin
```

The block captures rendered output, then minifies it. Variables interpolated via `{{ $expr }}` are escaped by Blade *before* the buffer reaches the minifier, so it's safe to interpolate user data inside.

Response middleware
-------------------

[](#response-middleware)

Opt-in: the service provider does **not** push the middleware onto the global stack — register it explicitly where you want it.

Globally, in `bootstrap/app.php` (Laravel 12+):

```
use Akankov\LaravelCompressHtml\Http\MinifyHtmlResponseMiddleware;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    // …
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void {
        $middleware->append(MinifyHtmlResponseMiddleware::class);
    })
    // …
    ->create();
```

Or per-route / per-group:

```
use Akankov\LaravelCompressHtml\Http\MinifyHtmlResponseMiddleware;

Route::middleware(MinifyHtmlResponseMiddleware::class)
    ->group(function (): void {
        // routes whose responses should be minified
    });
```

The middleware only touches `Illuminate\Http\Response` instances whose `Content-Type` first segment is `text/html`. JSON, streamed, and binary responses pass through unchanged.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Every key in `config/htmlmin.php` is a snake\_case mirror of a property on `Akankov\HtmlMin\Config\MinifierOptions`. The provider converts them with `Str::camel()` when constructing the options object, so:

```
'remove_comments'    => true,    // → MinifierOptions::$removeComments
'sum_up_whitespace'  => true,    // → MinifierOptions::$sumUpWhitespace
'optimize_attributes' => true,   // → MinifierOptions::$optimizeAttributes
```

See the published config file for the full list of 29 keys with their defaults.

Artisan command
---------------

[](#artisan-command)

`html-min:check` minifies a file **in memory** and reports the byte savings — a CI/dev smoke-check for "did this template change inflate the page?" without writing anything to disk:

```
php artisan html-min:check resources/views/rendered/home.html
# Reduced from 48.2 KB to 41.7 KB (-13.5%)
```

It exits `0` on success and `1` if the file cannot be read.

Versioning
----------

[](#versioning)

This package follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). From **1.0.0** onward the public surface — the `@htmlmin` directive, the `MinifyHtmlResponseMiddleware`, the `html-min:check` command, the published `config/htmlmin.php` keys, and the service-provider bindings — is stable; breaking changes are reserved for a new major version. The underlying engine is tracked via a caret constraint (`akankov/html-min: ^2.8`), so it picks up engine minor/patch releases automatically.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

```
composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit
make ci         # cs-check + phpstan + rector-check + test
make coverage   # line coverage + 100% floor (needs pcov or xdebug)
```

The suite holds **100% line coverage**, enforced in CI.
