About
Adds a @minify directive to Laravel Blade templates that partially compresses rendered HTML — smaller payloads, same output.
What it does
It lets developers mark chosen Blade template regions for HTML cleanup. Rendering captures each marked region, runs it through an HTML minifier, then inserts the result back into the response.
Why it's ranked here
The narrow scope is the point. Developers can target safe regions instead of risking layout changes across an entire page. Integration tests cover nested and repeated regions, while static analysis runs at its strictest configured level.
What's good
Installation uses Composer, and Laravel discovers the service provider automatically. The directive syntax keeps control beside the affected markup. Tests verify comment removal, whitespace handling, attributes, nesting, multiple regions, compiled templates, and final rendered output.
Tradeoffs
It requires PHP 8.2 or newer and supports only Laravel 11 or 12. Minification happens during rendering through output buffering. Behavior comes from an external HTML minifier, and the repository documents no configuration controls for tuning its transformations.
How to use it well
Use it in Laravel applications where specific Blade fragments contain safely compressible markup. Add marked regions incrementally and test their rendered HTML, especially around whitespace-sensitive content. It does not provide automatic full-page minification or a general asset-compression pipeline.
Technical notes+
composer.json defines a PHP library requiring php ^8.2, laravel/framework ^11.0 || ^12.0, and mrclay/minify ^3.0, with Laravel package discovery registering Yamadashy\MinifyDirective\MinifyDirectiveServiceProvider. src/MinifyDirectiveServiceProvider.php compiles the opening directive to ob_start() and the closing directive to Minifier::minify(ob_get_clean() ?: ''). src/Minifier.php delegates directly to Minify_HTML::minify(). tests/MinifierTest.php checks transformation details, while tests/MinifyDirectiveTest.php exercises compilation, evaluation, nested blocks, repeated blocks, and Blade fixture files. phpstan.neon.dist analyzes src and tests at level 9.
