Laravel4 Google Closure Compiler
================================

[](#laravel4-google-closure-compiler)

This Laravel4 package adds a view-helper `javascript_compiled()` to minimize a single javascript file or bundles of several javascript files. Everything is done using [Google Closure Compiler](https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install it via Composer by adding the following to your `composer.json`-file (the asterix can be changed to an exact version):

```
"jboysen/laravel-gcc": "1.*"

```

NOTE: *if you get this error: `zendframework/zend-http dev-master requires zendframework/zend-stdlib dev-master -> no matching package found.`, you might have got this [error](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/2218)..*

...and add the following to the `providers`-array in your `app/config/app.php`:

```
'Jboysen\LaravelGcc\LaravelGccServiceProvider',

```

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

[](#configuration)

The config-file is self-explanatory: [`config.php`](https://github.com/jboysen/laravel-gcc/blob/master/src/config/config.php)

To change some of the settings, simply just run (as always) `php artisan config:publish jboysen/laravel-gcc`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### View helper

[](#view-helper)

The helper accepts either a string representing a single javascript file or an array representing several files (a bundle). A bundle will be compiled in the order given in the array.

Example #1:

```
// hello.blade.php
...
{{ javascript_compiled('default.js') }}

```

Example #2:

```
// hello.php
...

```

This helper will:

1. Lookup the files given as argument to the helper.
2. Create a unique filename for the compiled files based on the filenames and the last modification time of the files.
3. Compile the bundle (if it's not present).
4. Output a script-tag linking to the compiled file.

### artisan commands

[](#artisan-commands)

#### `gcc:build`

[](#gccbuild)

As compilation of several files sometimes can take time, it is better to do this "offline", that is before any users hit the web application.

```
php artisan gcc:build

```

This command will scan all files in the `/app/views`-directory and find all uses of the view-helper described above, and compile the bundles immediately, making sure the users won't experience any long response times.

#### `gcc:clean`

[](#gccclean)

Remove all files from the `/app/storage/laravel-gcc`-folder. This task might be useful in deployment-procedures.
