Laravel 5+ wrapper for ShortPixel API. A forked version of davidcb/laravel-shortpixel

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require hkhasib/laravel-shortpixel

If you're using Laravel >= 5.5, you can skip this as this package will be auto-discovered. However, if you want, you can follow these steps for Laravel <=10: Add the service provider to config/app.php

Hkhasib\LaravelShortPixel\LaravelShortPixelServiceProvider::class,

You can register the facade in the aliases array in the config/app.php file

'LaravelShortPixel' => Hkhasib\LaravelShortPixel\Facades\LaravelShortPixel::class,

For Laravel >=11, you can optionally follow these steps:

Add the service provider to 'bootstrap/providers.php'

    return [
    #other providers
    \Hkhasib\LaravelShortPixel\LaravelShortPixelServiceProvider::class,
];

Add the alias to 'bootstrap/app.php'

    $middleware->alias([
            #other aliases
           'LaravelShortPixel'=>\Hkhasib\LaravelShortPixel\Facades\LaravelShortPixel::class,
        ]);

After adding these things on your laravel app for Laravel <=10 and Laravel >=11, follow these steps:

Publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hkhasib\LaravelShortPixel\LaravelShortPixelServiceProvider"

Set your API key on your .env file

SHORT_PIXEL_API_KEY=secret

Usage

You can find all the methods in the original short-pixel-optimizer/shortpixel-php package and davidcb/laravel-shortpixel.

My package is exactly same as David. But, my one automatically generate webp by default. Also, I have added a refresh method.

So, if you want to refresh a previously optimized version of image, you can do it in following way:

//optimize with refresh
$result = LaravelShortPixel::fromUrls('https://your.site/img/unoptimized.png', '/path/to/save/to', 'filename.png', $compression_level = 1, $width = 200, $height = 200, $maxDimension = true, $refresh=true]);

Just set $refresh = false or ignore it completely as it is false by default if you don't want to refresh.

Alternatively, you can use refreshFromUrls method to refresh the optimized image.

$result = LaravelShortPixel::refreshfromUrls('https://your.site/img/unoptimized.png', '/path/to/save/to', 'filename.png', $compression_level = 1, $width = 200, $height = 200, $maxDimension = true

fromFiles, fromUrls, fromFolder, refreshFromFiles, refreshFromUrls, refreshFromFolder methods are available in this package.

The usage are same as the original package. Only the refresh methods are added in this package.

The compression_level, width, height and maxDimension are optional. Compression levels are 0 - loseless, 1 - lossy, 2- glossy. Default compression level for your images is set on the configuration file (lossy is set as default).
