js-minify
A fast Javascript minifier that removes unnecessary whitespace and comments
Installation
If you are using Composer, use
composer require garfix/js-minify
Use
The simplest use of the library comes down to this:
$minifiedJs = \Garfix\JsMinify\Minifier::minify($js);
Where $js
contains the unprocessed code and $minifiedJs
holds the minified version.
If you want to change the default options, use minify($js, $options)
, where $options
is an array of one or more of the following:
\Garfix\JsMinify\Minifier::FLAGGED_COMMENTS
(bool, default:true
) When set tofalse
,/*! ... */
flagged comments are removed as well.
Background
I started this library because I believed JShrink could be made much faster by the use of dedicated regular expressions. This turned out to be true. It is about 10x faster on PHP 7 and 5x faster on PHP 8.
