laravel-elixir-imagemin

This is a simple imagemin wrapper around Laravel Elixir. Add it to your Elixir-enhanced Gulpfile, like so:

Install

``
npm install --save-dev laravel-elixir-imagemin
`

Usage

$3

`javascript
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

require('laravel-elixir-imagemin');

elixir(function(mix) {
mix.imagemin();
});
`

This will scan your resources/assets/images directory for all image files.

If you want to process a different image directory, you can update your Elixir config by either:

#### Defining elixir.config.images in your Gulpfile

You can define elixir.config.images in your gulpfile.js like so:

`javascript
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

require('laravel-elixir-imagemin');

elixir.config.images = {
folder: 'img',
outputFolder: 'img'
};

elixir(function(mix) {
mix.imagemin();
});
`

#### Setting config.images in an elixir.json file

You can create an elixir.json
file in your project root to modify Elixir's default settings.

`json
{
"images": {
"folder": "img",
"outputFolder": "img"
}
}
`

#### Upgrading from the old syntax

If you're upgrading from the old syntax, where you defined custom directories like so:

`javascript
mix.imagemin("./resources/assets/img", "public/images/foo/bar/");
`

All you have to do is:

- Remove the first two parameters, then
- Follow the instructions for "Changing the default image directories"

Note: You don't define the full path anymore. Instead of resources/assets/img you simply use img, because
laravel-elixir-imagemin will look inside your assets and public directories (or whatever else you may have
configured).

You can override the default imagemin options by passing in an options object like so:

`javascript
mix.imagemin({
optimizationLevel: 3,
progressive: true,
interlaced: true
});
``

Available imagemin options are listed here in the gulp-imagemin readme.
