Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Image minimizing loader for webpack 4, meant to be used with url-loader, file-loader, or raw-loader

Minify PNG, JPEG, GIF and SVG images with imagemin plugins

img-loader has a peer dependency on imagemin, so you will need to make sure to include that, along with any imagemin plugins you will use.

Install

$ npm install img-loader --save-dev

Usage

Documentation: Using loaders

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
      use: [
        'url-loader?limit=10000',
        'img-loader'
      ]
    }
  ]
}

By default the loader simply passes along the image unmodified.

Options

Options are forwarded to imagemin.buffer(image, options), so any plugins you would like to use for optimizing the images are passed as the plugins property.

For more details on each plugin's options, see their documentation on Github.

{
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        use: [
          'url-loader?limit=10000',
          {
            loader: 'img-loader',
            options: {
              plugins: [
                require('imagemin-gifsicle')({
                  interlaced: false
                }),
                require('imagemin-mozjpeg')({
                  progressive: true,
                  arithmetic: false
                }),
                require('imagemin-pngquant')({
                  floyd: 0.5,
                  speed: 2
                }),
                require('imagemin-svgo')({
                  plugins: [
                    { removeTitle: true },
                    { convertPathData: false }
                  ]
                })
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

plugins can also be a function, which will receive the webpack loader context and should return the plugins array.

{
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        use: [
          'url-loader?limit=10000',
          {
            loader: 'img-loader',
            options: {
              plugins (context) {
                if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') return []
                return [
                  require('imagemin-svgo')({
                    plugins: [
                      { cleanupIDs: false },
                      {
                        prefixIds: {
                          prefix: path.basename(context.resourcePath, 'svg')
                        }
                      }
                    ]
                  })
                ]
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

If you only want to run imagemin in production builds, you can omit the img-loader or leave plugins empty in your production configuration file. If you don't keep a separate configuration for prod builds, something like the following also works:

{
  loader: 'img-loader',
  options: {
    plugins: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' && [
      require('imagemin-svgo')({})
      // etc.
    ]
  }
}

Migrating from 2.x

To get the default behavior from version 2.0.1, you'll need to install these imagemin plugins:

Then use this loader setup in your webpack configuration file:

{
  loader: 'img-loader',
  options: {
    plugins: [
      require('imagemin-gifsicle')({}),
      require('imagemin-mozjpeg')({}),
      require('imagemin-optipng')({}),
      require('imagemin-svgo')({})
    ]
  }
}

The options object you had under a plugin's name property, should instead be passed directly to the plugin after you require it.

If you used the optional pngquant settings, then you will additionally need to install imagemin-pngquant, and add it to your plugins array as any other imagemin plugin.
