#### Plain php projects with composer

[](#plain-php-projects-with-composer)

If you're not using a php framework you can use the minifier by using the code below:

```
//include the composer autoloader
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// create a minify context which will be used through the minification process
$context = new MinifyContext(new PlaceholderContainer());
// save the html contents in the context
$context->setContents('My html...');
$minify = new Minify();
// start the process and give the context with it as parameter
$context = $minify->run($context);

// $context now contains the minified version
$minifiedContents = $context->getContents();
```
