Welcome to Minify!
==================
# Welcome to Minify!

Minify is an HTTP server for JS and CSS assets. It compresses and combines files
and serves it with appropriate headers, allowing conditional GET or long-Expires.

Relative URLs in CSS files are rewritten to compensate for being served from a different directory.

Wordpress User?

## Support

Post to the [Google Group](http://groups.google.com/group/minify).

### Wordpress User?

Consider instead using a dedicated WordPress plugin for more deep integration and simpler installation. E.g.:
- [BWP Minify](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bwp-minify/)
- [W3 Total Cache](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/)

Unfortunately we can't support the WordPress plugins here.

Installation
------------

Installation requires PHP 5.3+, SSH access, and access to tools like `git` and `composer` or the privileges to install them.

```bash
cd /path/to/public_html
git clone https://github.com/mrclay/minify.git min
cd min
composer install --no-dev
```

What this does:
## Installation

1. Inside your DOCUMENT_ROOT directory, we clone this repo. Otherwise you may [download](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/archive/master.zip) and extract the zip file.
1. We rename this directory `min`. E.g. You will have something like: `/home/example/public_html/min`
1. We `cd` into it and run `composer install` to install the dependencies.
See the [install guide](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/blob/master/docs/Install.wiki.md).

You can verify that it is working by visiting these two URLs:

* http://example.org/min/?f=min/quick-test.js
* http://example.org/min/?f=min/quick-test.css
## Configuration & Usage

If your server supports mod_rewrite, this URL should also work:

* http://example.org/min/f=min/quick-test.js

Minify also comes with a [URI Builder application](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/blob/master/docs/BuilderApp.wiki.md) that can help you write URLs
for use with Minify or configure groups of files.

Unit Testing
------------
## Unit Testing

1. Install dev deps via Composer: `composer install`
1. `composer test` or `phpunit`

Warnings
--------
## Warnings

* Minify is designed for efficiency, but, for very high traffic sites, it will probably serve files slower than your HTTPd due to the CGI overhead of PHP. See the [FAQ](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/blob/master/docs/FAQ.wiki.md#how-fast-is-it) and [CookBook](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/blob/master/docs/CookBook.wiki.md) for more info.
* If you combine a lot of CSS, watch out for [IE's 4096 selectors-per-file limit](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9906889/3779), affects IE 6 through 9.
* Minify *should* work fine with files encoded in UTF-8 or other 8-bit encodings like ISO 8859/Windows-1252. By default Minify appends ";charset=utf-8" to the Content-Type headers it sends.

# Installation

Minify requires PHP 5.3+, `git`, and `composer`.

## Typical Installation

Clone the project into the `min/` directory inside your document root and install its dependencies:

```bash
cd /path/to/public_html
git clone https://github.com/mrclay/minify.git min
cd min
composer install --no-dev
```

**Note:** If you do this on localhost, make sure the `min/vendor/` directory gets deployed to production.

## Installing as a composer dependency

Add `"mrclay/minify": "~3.0.0"` to your site's composer.json, and `composer install`.

The following assumes your `vendor` directory is in your document root. Adjust the `MINIFY` path as needed:

```bash
cd /path/to/public_html
mkdir min
MIN=min/
MINIFY=vendor/mrclay/minify/
cp ${MINIFY}example.index.php ${MIN}index.php
cp ${MINIFY}.htaccess ${MIN}
cp ${MINIFY}config.php ${MIN}
cp ${MINIFY}groupsConfig.php ${MIN}
cp ${MINIFY}quick-test.js ${MIN}
cp ${MINIFY}quick-test.css ${MIN}
```

Edit `min/index.php` to remove the ``die()`` statement and adjust the `vendor` path as needed.

**Note:** This does not install the [URL builder](https://github.com/mrclay/minify/blob/master/docs/BuilderApp.wiki.md), but it's not necessary for operation.

## Verifing it works

You can verify it works via these two URLs:

* http://example.org/min/?f=min/quick-test.js
* http://example.org/min/?f=min/quick-test.css

If your server supports mod_rewrite, the `?` are not necessary:

* http://example.org/min/f=min/quick-test.js
* http://example.org/min/f=min/quick-test.css
