Minify Plugin

Developer info: Pimcore at basilicom

Synopsis

This plugin adds two new classes to help with with CSS and Javascript combination / minification in layouts / templates.

Installation

Add the "basilicom-pimcore-plugin/minify" requirement to the composer.json in the toplevel directory of your pimcore installation:

Example:

{
    "require": {
        "basilicom-pimcore-plugin/minify": ">=1.0.0"
    }
}

Or run:

composer require basilicom-pimcore-plugin/minify

Then enable and install the Minify plugin in Pimcore Extension Manager (Extras > Extensions).

Integration

Add to your templates:

    <?php
        $js = new \Minify\Js();
        echo $js->add("/website/static/js/jquery.js")
            ->add("/website/static/js/site.js")
            ->get();
    ?>

Or for CSS:

    <?php
        $js = new \Minify\Css();
        echo $js->add("/website/static/css/bootstrap.css")
            ->add("/website/static/icons/icons.css")
            ->add("/website/static/css/site.css")
            ->get();
    ?>

Mode of operation

If Pimcore operates in the DEBUG mode, JS/CSS files are not minified but individual html includes/tags for the files are generated - with timestamp based cache busters (?ts=1486051521).

In production mode, CSS and JS files are combined, minified, and written to the /website/var/tmp/ directory as plugin_minify_* files. Each set of files gets their own cache file based on the md5 sum of the combined filenames. For CSS files, relative urls/paths are automatically rewritten.

You can force regeneration of the minified files by adding a MINIFY_REFRESH request parameter. Example: http://localhost/test/?MINIFY_REFRESH
