Laravel >= 5 Packer

, _(*1)

Inspired by: https://github.com/ceesvanegmond/minify, _(*2)

With this package you can pack and minify your existing css and javascript files. This process can be a little tough, this package simplies this process and automates it., _(*3)

Also, you can resize/crop images to adapt thumbnails into your layouts., _(*4)

If you want a Laravel <= 4.2 compatible version, please use v4.2 branch., _(*5)

CSS

// resources/views/hello.blade.php

<html>
    <head>
        // Pack a simple file
        {!! Packer::css('/css/main.css', '/storage/cache/css/main.css') !!}

        // Pack a simple file using cache_folder option as storage folder to packed file
        {!! Packer::css('/css/main.css', 'css/main.css') !!}

        // Packing multiple files
        {!! Packer::css(['/css/main.css', '/css/bootstrap.css'], '/storage/cache/css/styles.css') !!}

        // Packing multiple files using cache_folder option as storage folder to packed file
        {!! Packer::css(['/css/main.css', '/css/bootstrap.css'], 'css/styles.css') !!}

        // Packing multiple files with autonaming based
        {!! Packer::css(['/css/main.css', '/css/bootstrap.css'], '/storage/cache/css/') !!}

        // pack and combine all css files in given folder
        {!! Packer::cssDir('/css/', '/storage/cache/css/all.css') !!}

        // pack and combine all css files in given folder using cache_folder option as storage folder to packed file
        {!! Packer::cssDir('/css/', 'css/all.css') !!}

        // Packing multiple folders
        {!! Packer::cssDir(['/css/', '/theme/'], '/storage/cache/css/all.css') !!}

        // Packing multiple folders with recursive search
        {!! Packer::cssDir(['/css/', '/theme/'], '/storage/cache/css/all.css', true) !!}

        // Packing multiple folders with recursive search and autonaming
        {!! Packer::cssDir(['/css/', '/theme/'], '/storage/cache/css/', true) !!}

        // Packing multiple folders with recursive search and autonaming using cache_folder option as storage folder to packed file
        {!! Packer::cssDir(['/css/', '/theme/'], 'css/', true) !!}

        // pack and combine all js files in given folder using cache_folder option as storage folder to packed file
        {!! Packer::jsDir('/js/', 'js/all.js') !!}

        // Packing multiple folders
        {!! Packer::jsDir(['/js/', '/theme/'], '/storage/cache/js/all.js') !!}

        <img src="{{ Packer::img('/images/picture.jpg', 'resize,500') }}" />

        // Crop image to 200px square with custom cache folder (full path)
        <img src="{{ Packer::img('/images/picture.jpg', 'resizeCrop,200,200', '/storage/cache/images/') }}" />

        // Crop image to 200px square center middle with custom cache folder (using cache_folder as base)

Using Packer outside Laravel

require (__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');

// Check default settings
$config = require (__DIR__.'/src/config/config.php');

$Packer = new Eusonlito\LaravelPacker\Packer($config);

echo $Packer->css([
    '/resources/css/styles-1.css',
    '/resources/css/styles-2.css'
