laravel-mix-views-minifier

library2.0.1jsnpmunverified

A Laravel Mix extension that minifies Blade or other template files using HTMLMinifier. Current stable version is 2.0.1, released in 2020, with no recent updates. It wraps html-minifier and integrates into Laravel Mix's build pipeline via mix.minTemplate(). Unlike generic minifiers, it is specifically designed for Laravel's storage/framework/views directory and automatically applies only in production. Note: requires Laravel Mix and Node.js, and is unmaintained since 2020.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

mix.minTemplate

✓ mix.minTemplate = require('laravel-mix-views-minifier')

✗ import mix from 'laravel-mix'; import minTemplate from 'laravel-mix-views-minifier'

This package is CommonJS-only and attaches a method to the mix object. ES import syntax does not work directly.

mix

✓ let mix = require('laravel-mix')

✗ import mix from 'laravel-mix'

Laravel Mix's official API uses CommonJS require. ES imports may cause issues with mixin extensions.

mix.minTemplate

✓ mix.minTemplate(source, output, options?)

✗ mix.minTemplate({source: '...', output: '...'})

The function expects two positional string arguments (source glob, output directory) and an optional options object. Passing an object is incorrect.

Installs the package, attaches minTemplate to mix, and minifies all compiled Blade templates in production with custom HTMLMinifier options.

// webpack.mix.js let mix = require('laravel-mix'); mix.minTemplate = require('laravel-mix-views-minifier'); if (mix.inProduction()) { mix.minTemplate('storage/framework/views/*.php', 'storage/framework/views/', { collapseWhitespace: true, removeComments: true }); }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is deprecated: Repository archived by owner on Jul 28, 2020. No updates for Laravel Mix 6+.

fix

Consider using laravel-mix-template-minifier or a custom webpack plugin for newer Mix versions.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaRequires manual installation of html-minifier as it is listed as a devDependency but may not be auto-installed in some setups.

fix

Run: npm install --save-dev html-minifier

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingVersion 2.0.0 changed the API from mix.minTemplate(source, output) to also accept an options object as third argument. Invalid options cause silent failure.

fix

Update usage to pass options as third argument if needed.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaOnly works with Laravel Mix >=4 and <6. Mix 6 uses webpack 5 which may cause incompatibilities.

fix

Check Mix version; for Mix 6, use an alternative or fork the package.

affects: >=1.0.0
