middleman-tinify

This minimizes JPGs and PNGs during your middleman builds using the tinify.com API service. In order to use this service, you need to sign up for their service and get an API key.

Installation

Add the middleman-tinify gem to your Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'middleman-tinify'

and run

bundle install

Usage

Add the following line to your middleman config file:

# config.rb

activate :tinify, key: 'WfYnAvEjI9pELLsTyh36mKiZbYLZQtZz'

By default, all PNGs and JPGs within your images_dir will be minified. The following optional configuration is available:

  • path: Configure a different path to locate the relevant images. If left blank, the images_path will be used. If your images are located in source/pictures, use path: 'pictures'.

  • proxy: You can instruct the API client to make all requests over an HTTP proxy. Set the URL of your proxy server, which can optionally include credentials. Take a look at the official API documentation of the tinify gem for an example.

N.B.: Image minification will only be done in the regular build, not in the preview server.

Running tests

Checkout this repository and execute the following commands:

bundle install
TINIFY_KEY=$YOUR_API_KEY rake
