NAME

App::ZofCMS::Plugin::CSSMinifier - plugin for minifying CSS files

SYNOPSIS

In your ZofCMS Template or Main Config File:

    plugins => [
        qw/CSSMinifier/,
    ],

    plug_css_minifier => {
        file => 'main.css',
    },

Now, this page can be linked into your document as a CSS file (it will be minified)

DESCRIPTION

The module is a plugin for App::ZofCMS that provides means to send minified CSS files.

This documentation assumes you've read App::ZofCMS, App::ZofCMS::Config and App::ZofCMS::Template

WTF IS MINIFIED?

Minified means that all the useless stuff (which means whitespace, etc) will be stripped off the CSS file to save a few bytes. See CSS::Minifier for more info.

FIRST-LEVEL ZofCMS TEMPLATE AND MAIN CONFIG FILE KEYS

plugins

    plugins => [
        qw/CSSMinifier/,
    ],

Mandatory. You need to include the plugin to the list of plugins to execute.

plug_css_minifier

    plug_css_minifier => {
        file        => 'main.css',
        auto_output => 1, # default value
        cache       => 1, # default value
    },

    plug_css_minifier => sub {
        my ( $t, $q, $config ) = @_;
        return {
            file        => 'main.css',
            auto_output => 1, # default value
            cache       => 1, # default value
        }
    },

Mandatory. Takes or a subref as a value. If subref is specified, its return value will be assigned to plug_css_minifier as if it was already there. If sub returns an undef, then plugin will stop further processing. The @_ of the subref will contain (in that order): ZofCMS Tempalate hashref, query parameters hashref and App::ZofCMS::Config object; individual keys can be set in both Main Config File and ZofCMS Template, if the same key set in both, the value in ZofCMS Template will take precedence. The following keys/values are accepted:

file

    plug_css_minifier => {
        file        => 'main.css',
    }

Mandatory. Takes a string as an argument that specifies the name of the CSS file to minify. The filename is relative to index.pl file.

cache

    plug_css_minifier => {
        file        => 'main.css',
        cache       => 1,
    },

Optional. Takes either true or false values. When set to a true value the plugin will send out an HTTP Expires header that will say that this content expries in like 2038, thus set this option to a false value while still developing your CSS. This argument has no effect when auto_output (see below) is turned off (set to a false value). Defaults to: 1

auto_output

    plug_css_minifier => {
        file        => 'main.css',
        auto_output => 1,
    },

Optional. Takes either true or false values. When set to a true value, plugin will automatically send text/css Content-type header (along with Expires header if cache argument is set to a true value), output the minified CSS file and exit(). Otherwise, the minified CSS file will be put into $t->{t}{plug_css_minifier} where $t is ZofCMS Template hashref and you can do whatever you want with it. Defaults to: 1
