Minify
======

[](#minify)

Minify is a JS and CSS minifier toolkit (with support for generating templates for engines such as Smarty).

Its main features are:

- automatically find all CSS/JS files in a given directory named `xxx-blah.css` where `xxx` is a three digit ordering / sequence number;
- minify these files and create a single file bundle;
- automatically generate template include files allowing production / development mode (i.e. use individual CSS/JS or bundles based on an application option);
- versioning for those using CDNs, future expiry dates, etc to ensure clients load fresh JS/CSS bundles.

See the **Example Usage** section below.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using Minify is as simple as copying the included `minify-options.php.dist` to `minify-options.php` and editing to suit you environment. Then run the script:

```
./minify.php

```

A full destription of the available options is commented within `minify-options.php.dist` and the script has a help option:

```
./minify.php --help

```

Installation Options
--------------------

[](#installation-options)

- It's a simple script - you can just clone the directory;
- **Composer:** require `"opensolutions/minify": "dev-master"`
- **Packagist:**

Example Usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

[IXP Manager](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager) uses Minify. You can see IXP Manager's [JS files here](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/tree/develop/public/js) and its [CSS files here](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/tree/develop/public/css).

The Minify script bundles the individual files into `min.bundle-vX.css` and `min.bundle-vX.js` files and also creates templates with logic for using the original uncompressed files or the compressed bundles in [this file for CSS](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/develop/application/views/header-css.tpl) and [this file for JS](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/develop/application/views/header-js.tpl).

The configuration for generating these [is here](https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/develop/bin/minify-options.php).
