This allows the broser to start loading these resources before the server has finished building and sending a response [See](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/103). This package aims to provide the *easiest* experience for adding Early Hints to your responses. Simply route your requests through the `AddHttp3EarlyHints` middleware and it will automatically create and attach the `Link` headers necessary to implement Early Hints for your CSS, JS and Image assets. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` $ composer require justbetter/laravel-http3earlyhints ``` Next you must add the `\JustBetter\Http3EarlyHints\Middleware\AddHttp3EarlyHints`-middleware to the kernel. Adding it to the web group is recommeneded as API's do not have assets to push. ### Laravel <11 [](#laravel-11) ``` // app/Http/Kernel.php ... protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ ... \JustBetter\Http3EarlyHints\Middleware\AddHttp3EarlyHints::class, ... ], ... ]; ``` ### Laravel >=11 [](#laravel-11-1) ``` // bootstrap/app.php ... ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { ... $middleware->appendToGroup('web', [ \JustBetter\Http3EarlyHints\Middleware\AddHttp3EarlyHints::class, ]); // Or // $middleware->append(\JustBetter\Http3EarlyHints\Middleware\AddHttp3EarlyHints::class); ... }) ... ``` Publish config -------------- [](#publish-config) ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JustBetter\Http3EarlyHints\ServiceProvider" ``` **Note:** `send_103` defaults to `false`, this is because it isn't actually supported widely yet. Currently only [FrankenPHP supports Early Hints natively](https://frankenphp.dev/docs/early-hints/). default behaviour is adding the link headers to the 200 response which e.g. [Cloudflare turns into early hints](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/advanced-configuration/early-hints/#generate-early-hints). Usage ----- [](#usage) When you route a request through the `AddHttp3EarlyHints` middleware, the response is scanned for any `link`, `script` or `img` tags that could benefit from being loaded using Early Hints. These assets will be added to the `Link` header before sending the response to the client. Easy! **Note:** To push an image asset, it must have one of the following extensions: `bmp`, `gif`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `png`, `svg`, `tiff` or `webp` and not have `loading="lazy"` ### Advanced usage [](#advanced-usage) If the automatic detection isn't enough for you, you can listen for the `GenerateEarlyHints` event, and manually add/remove/change new links. #### Detailed default behaviour [](#detailed-default-behaviour) The information on [usage](#usage) is simplified, there are many checks done to make sure we don't preload the wrong things. Early hints only support rel=preconnect and rel=preload [source](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/103#browser_compatibility) We automatically transform any rel that is not `preconnect` or `preload` into `preload`, so your `` will get preloaded with early hints. And get more detailed information once your server starts sending it's response. ##### Link [](#link) Any link elements which do **not** have rel= - icon - canonical - manifest - alternative ##### Script [](#script) Script tags will automatically get preloaded **if** it does not have an `async` or `defer` attribute attached to it. ##### Img [](#img) Img tags will automatically get preloaded when it does not have `loading="lazy"` and it does not exist within a picture tag. If it is within a picture tag we may be dealing with mutliple `srcset`s or `type`s, and thus cannot determine which file the browser will need. So we will not preload these images. ##### Object [](#object) If your html object tag contains `data=""` it will preload it. ##### Nonce [](#nonce) While the early hints module does support sending [nonce](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/vite#content-security-policy-csp-nonce) across as well, we recommend against it. And use [integrity](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/vite#subresource-integrity-sri) instead. Without hardcoding the nonce [Vite::useCspNonce($nonce);](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/vite#content-security-policy-csp-nonce:~:text=Vite%3A%3AuseCspNonce(%24nonce)%3B)sending this in early hints will be useless as each request will send early hints with a stale nonce.
