Minify
======

[](#minify)

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](https://github.com/nickdekruijk/minify1)) using [scssphp/scssphp](https://github.com/scssphp/scssphp) and [tedivm/jshrink](https://github.com/tedivm/jshrink). Because minify now replaces natxet/cssmin with scssphp it can now compile SASS/SCSS code too!

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

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package with composer.

`composer require nickdekruijk/minify`

Upgrading from 1.x
------------------

[](#upgrading-from-1x)

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.
