@andrewdworn is having and issue with blade minification. He says that the blade files are not being minified on compile. He says:

The extension works in live mode, but doesn't work when only blade config option is enabled. I've just upgraded to Laravel 4.2.6, and followed the install instructions.

The HTMLMin::html($value) function also works! Although, my html code gets 'divided' in strange places, for example:

...<ul
class="pipe"><li>...

I said:

I assume this issue is caused by the following scenario:

1. You have a Laravel 4.2 project and you've been using it before you installed my package.
2. You installed my package (~2.0@dev) and registered the service provider correctly.
3. You enabled blade minification, but for some reason you observe no change.

Let me explain why this happens. Before you installed this package, Laravel compiled your views and stored then in "app/storage/views". Laravel will only re-compile a view if it has been modified. You now enable blade minification, but the old compiled view files still exist, and Laravel sees that the views haven't changed, so it doesn't re-compile then.

What you need to do to get Laravel to re-compile the views is to open up "app/storage/views" and delete all compiled views. Now Laravel will re-compile the views as you need them, and they should be minified.

Let me know how you get on, and give me a buzz if you've got any further questions.

He replied with:

Thanks for the quick answer! I have my "app/storage/views" dir open in mc all the time, and I clean it before expecting any change in my page, so it must be something else...

This issue was extracted from https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-HTMLMin/issues/11#issuecomment-48812814.

If I enable HTMLMin in my app, it doesn't do much. If I force it, the app does not work anymore. So that is where I am stuck.... I see no possibility to debug or tune. For example; for me only removing comments and spacing would already help, now its just all or nothing and with all (force) it breaks the app? Any possibility or info on how to get it working without breaking or debugging to get result without forcing it?

Laravel 8 will be released on September 8th. Can we check that the library is safe to work with Laravel 8 and update the composer version flags accordingly?

while using this package which is perfect, thank you by the way, I seem to have a little problem: when I use https://github.com/RobinRadic/blade-extensions to extend my blade directives they don;t get compiled in the process, I can't find the problem myself, or even it's a bug or not. I was thinking you could take a look at this if you have time

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to disable htmlmin in specific routes. I am creating some txt files with blade, and the minification is breaking the markup.

Thank you very much!

Hi there,

Have just finished installing and configuring this package to a project, and found out the Facade/Provider lines mentioned did not work for me.

Facade/Alias I replaced 'HTMLMin' => HTMLMin\HTMLMin\Facades\HTMLMin::class, with 'HTMLMin' => GrahamCampbell\HTMLMin\Facades\HTMLMin::class,

Service Provider I replaced HTMLMin\HTMLMin\Http\Middleware\MinifyMiddleware with GrahamCampbell\HTMLMin\HTMLMinServiceProvider::class.

Both substitutes mentioned above worked in my case. I just would like to confirm if this is correct?

The output for "Automatic Live Optimizations" doesn't really seem to minifiy. At the moment it just breaks up the lines awkwardly with no real space saving.

Source:

<nav class="top_nav">
    <a href="/repairs">Repairs</a>
    <a href="/services">Services</a>
    <a href="/pricing">Pricing</a>
</nav>

Output:

<nav
class="top_nav">
<a
href="/repairs">Repairs</a>
<a
href="/services">Services</a>
<a
href="/pricing">Pricing</a>
</nav>

Expected:

<nav class="top_nav"><a href="/repairs">Repairs</a><a href="/services">Services</a><a href="/pricing">Pricing</a></nav>

Use case: Laravel's standard password reminder/reset email. For this, I have set up a simple emails/pwreset.blade.php that echoes out the corresponding route {{ URL::route(...) }}. All fine with HTMLMin turned off. Strangely, when turned on, the received email shows the URL with a double dot in the domain name, i.e. domain..ch instead of domain.ch. If I rename pwreset.blade.php to pwreset.php with standard php echo (easy workaround), all fine again even with HTMLMin turned on. So something is happening here between Laravel's blade compiler, HTMLMin and/or SwiftMailer(?). No big deal, but possibly a small symptom of a wider issue.

Hello,

I really like to use your package to minify my output, in the past everything was going well. I currently use https://github.com/tightenco/ziggy and https://github.com/spatie/laravel-blade-javascript, those packages uses custom blade directives.

If i enable this package the directives are returned as plain text, i have tried to put them in a separate view paths but it doesn't seem to help.

In the past i have made a couple pull requests for packages with this (same?) issue. https://github.com/spatie/laravel-blade-javascript/pull/25 https://github.com/akaunting/money/pull/4

I also tried to this with this package but can't get it to work.

Do you have any ideas to solve this somehow?

This includes a new Regex to include texture | pre | Script within a page.

Hello and thanks for this useful piece of code :)

I had a hard time to understand why my text/plain emails (in /resources/views/emails folder) were displayed without any line breaks in my inbox. :) They were just minified as the rest of my HTML views.

It would be great to be able to exclude some folders or some files or any tips to help me?

Thanks a lot.

custom directive is not working: EX. @isAdmin, @IsAppruved etc...

after minifying I get error (syntax error, unexpected token "endif") because it's not minifying correctly

Hi everyone, this package requires "mrclay/minify": "^2.2|^3.0" which in turn requires mrclay/props-dic and which finally uses the abandoned and deprecated package container-interop/container-interop

https:/ /github.com/container-interop/container-interop

When I install via composer the following message appears Package container-interop/container-interop is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use psr/container instead.

Is it possible to find a solution for this warning?

Thanks.

Thank you so much for such a simple and useful package.

I am using laravel-mail-editor for email's template management.

The laravel-mail-editor stores template under resources/views/vendor/maileclipse/templates/

How can I ignore the whole directory?

I tried the below option, but not working.

'ignore' => [
    'resources/views/vendor/maileclipse/*',
],
