README

The souravmsh/compressed-output package minifies HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Laravel applications to improve performance by reducing page load times.

Features

• Minifies inline HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Protects Blade directives, raw Blade content, and conditional comments.
• Preserves jQuery patterns and sensitive JS (e.g., regex/template literals).
• Configurable via compressed-output.php.

Installation

1. Install via Composer

   Published Repository:

   composer require souravmsh/laravel-widget

   Local Development: Add to composer.json:

   "repositories": [
       {
           "type": "path",
           "url": "packages/souravmsh/laravel-widget"
       }
   ]

   Then:

   composer require souravmsh/laravel-widget:dev-main

2. Publish Configuration

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=compressed-output-config

   Enable in .env:

   COMPRESSED_OUTPUT_ENABLE=true

3. Set Storage Permissions

   chmod -R 775 storage
   php artisan storage:link

Configuration

Edit config/compressed-output.php:

<?php
return [
    'enable' => env('COMPRESSED_OUTPUT_ENABLE', false),
];

Set COMPRESSED_OUTPUT_ENABLE=true in .env to enable the middleware.

How It Works

The CompressedOutputMiddleware processes text/html responses:

• Protects: Blade directives (@..., {!! !!}, {{ }}), inline CSS/JS, and conditional comments.
• Minifies:
  • HTML: Removes whitespace, non-conditional comments.
  • CSS: Removes comments, minimizes spaces, fixes values (e.g., 32pxauto → 32px auto).
  • JS: Removes comments, minimizes spaces, preserves jQuery patterns. Skips application/json or text/template scripts.
• Headers: Sets Content-Length and X-Minified: true.
• Logs: Tracks initial/minified content and skipped scripts.

Example

Original:

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('.my-class').on('click', function() { alert('Clicked!'); });
  });
</script>
<style>
  .my-class { color: red; /* Comment */ margin: 10px auto; }
</style>
<div>  <p>  Hello, World!  </p>  </div>

Minified:

<script>$(document).ready(function(){$('.my-class').on('click',function(){alert('Clicked!')})});</script>
<style>.my-class{color:red;margin:10px auto}</style>
<div><p>Hello, World!</p></div>

Verify <script> tags don’t use type="application/json" or type="text/template".

Limitations

• Regex-based minification may miss complex JS edge cases.
• Only processes inline content, not external files.
• Slight performance overhead; test in production.
