Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.
Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:
composer require sensiolabs/minify-bundle
How to install without Symfony Flex
Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:
composer require sensiolabs/minify-bundle
Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles
in the config/bundles.php
file of your project:
// config/bundles.php
return [
// ...
Sensiolabs\MinifyBundle\SensiolabsMinifyBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
Depending on your deployment process, you might want to enable the bundle only in the desired environment(s).
If you use AssetMapper, run the following command to minify all the assets:
php bin/console asset-map:compile
This command is usually run when serving assets in production and the SensioLabs Minify Bundle will hook into it to minify all assets while copying them.
You can also minify assets manually with the command line. First, make sure that the binary file used to minify assets is properly installed in your computer:
php bin/console minify:install
Then, run the following command to minify assets:
# this outputs the result in the console
php bin/console minify:asset css/main.css
# this will write the output into the 'main.min.css' file
# (the given output file is created / overwritten if needed)
php bin/console minify:asset css/main.css css/main.min.css
# config/packages/sensiolabs_minify.yaml
sensiolabs_minify:
asset_mapper:
# you can minify only CSS files, only JS files or both
types:
css: true # (default: true)
js: true # (default: true)
# a list of assets to exclude from minfication (default: [])
# the values of the list can be any shell wildcard patterns
ignore_paths:
- 'admin/*'
- '*.min.js'
# whethere to exclude the assets stored in vendor/ from minification;
# these assets are usually already minified, so it's common to ignore them
ignore_vendor: true # (default: true)
The minification is performed by a binary file that can be installed on your computer/server or downloaded automatically by the bundle. This is the default configuration used by the bundle:
# config/packages/sensiolabs_minify.yaml
sensiolabs_minify:
# ...
minify:
# this disables the usage of local binaries
local_binary: false
# if TRUE, the bundle will download the binary from GitHub
download_binary: '%kernel.debug%'
# the local path where the downloaded binary is stored
download_directory: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/minify'
You can customize this configuration to use a local binary:
# config/packages/sensiolabs_minify.yaml
sensiolabs_minify:
# ...
minify:
# set it to 'auto' to let the bundle try to find the location of the binary
local_binary: 'auto'
# you can also define the path to the binary explicitly, but this won't work
# if you run the application in multiple servers with different binary locations
local_binary: "/usr/local/bin/minify"
