# image-webpack-loader
Image loader module for webpack
> Minify PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG and WEBP images with [imagemin](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin)
*Issues with the output should be reported on the imagemin [issue tracker](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin/issues).*
## Install
```sh
$ npm install image-webpack-loader --save-dev
```
### Install in container
#### `node:12-buster`
No additional preparations required.
All dependencies will be compiled automatically.
**Not** recommended because of large image size (~1 GB).
#### `node:12-buster-slim`
Prepare script:
```shell script
apt-get update
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends autoconf automake g++ libpng-dev make
```
**Recommended** container image.
#### `node:12-alpine`
Prepare script:
```shell script
apk add --no-cache autoconf automake file g++ libtool make nasm libpng-dev
```
**Not** recommended because of long build time.
#### Benchmark
| Container distro | Pull time | Build time | Total time |
| --------------------- | ---------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| `node:12-buster` | 42 seconds | 77 seconds | 119 seconds |
| `node:12-buster-slim` | 11 seconds | 103 seconds | 114 seconds |
| `node:12-alpine` | 8 seconds | 122 seconds | 130 seconds |
### libpng issues
Installing on some versions of OSX may raise errors with a [missing libpng dependency](https://github.com/tcoopman/image-webpack-loader/issues/51#issuecomment-273597313):
```
Module build failed: Error: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libpng/lib/libpng16.16.dylib
```
This can be remedied by installing the newest version of libpng with [homebrew](http://brew.sh/):
```sh
brew install libpng
```
## Usage
[Documentation: Using loaders](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/loaders/)
In your `webpack.config.js`, add the image-loader, chained after the [file-loader](https://github.com/webpack/file-loader):
```js
rules: [{
test: /\.(gif|png|jpe?g|svg)$/i,
use: [
'file-loader',
{
loader: 'image-webpack-loader',
options: {
bypassOnDebug: true, // webpack@1.x
disable: true, // webpack@2.x and newer
},
},
],
}]
```
For each optimizer you wish to configure, specify the corresponding key in options:
```js
rules: [{
test: /\.(gif|png|jpe?g|svg)$/i,
use: [
'file-loader',
{
loader: 'image-webpack-loader',
options: {
mozjpeg: {
progressive: true,
},
// optipng.enabled: false will disable optipng
optipng: {
enabled: false,
},
pngquant: {
quality: [0.65, 0.90],
speed: 4
},
gifsicle: {
interlaced: false,
},
// the webp option will enable WEBP
webp: {
quality: 75
}
}
},
],
}]
```
Comes bundled with the following optimizers, which are automatically enabled by default:
- [mozjpeg](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-mozjpeg) — *Compress JPEG images*
- [optipng](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin-optipng) — *Compress PNG images*
- [pngquant](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-pngquant) — *Compress PNG images*
- [svgo](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin-svgo) — *Compress SVG images*
- [gifsicle](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin-gifsicle) — *Compress GIF images*
And optional optimizers:
- [webp](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-webp) — *Compress JPG & PNG images into WEBP*
_Each optimizers can be disabled by specifying `optimizer.enabled: false`, and optional ones can be enabled by simply putting them in the options_
If you are using Webpack 1, take a look at the [old docs](http://webpack.github.io/docs/using-loaders.html) (or consider upgrading).
## Options
Loader options:
#### bypassOnDebug *(all)*
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`
Using this, no processing is done when webpack 'debug' mode is used and the loader acts as a regular file-loader. Use this to speed up initial and, to a lesser extent, subsequent compilations while developing or using webpack-dev-server. Normal builds are processed normally, outputting optimized files.
#### disable
Type: `boolean`
Default `false`
Same functionality as **bypassOnDebug** option, but doesn't depend on webpack debug mode, which was deprecated in 2.x. Basically you want to use this option if you're running webpack@2.x or newer.
For optimizer options, an up-to-date and exhaustive list is available on each optimizer repository:
- [mozjpeg](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-mozjpeg#options)
- [optipng](https://github.com/kevva/imagemin-optipng#options)
- [pngquant](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-pngquant#options)
- [svgo](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-svgo#options)
- [gifsicle](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-gifsicle#options)
- [webp](https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin-webp#options)
