Vite plugin for optimizing animated WebP files with Sharp and webpmux

# Vite Plugin Animated WebP Optimizer

A Vite plugin that automatically optimizes animated WebP files to reduce file size while preserving animation integrity and frame positions.

## 🚀 Features

- **Automatic WebP Optimization**: Automatically detects and optimizes WebP files during build
- **Animated WebP Support**: Specialized optimization for animated WebP files
- **Frame Position Preservation**: Maintains exact frame positions using Sharp's native animation support
- **Sharp Native Support**: Direct processing without external tools like webpmux
- **Configurable Quality**: Adjustable quality and compression settings
- **Compression Mode**: Choose between lossless (quality) and lossy (performance) compression
- **Size Limits**: Optional file size limits and skip conditions
- **Resizing Options**: Configurable maximum dimensions
- **Verbose Logging**: Detailed optimization progress and results
- **Comprehensive Testing**: High test coverage with Jest and Codecov integration

## 📦 Installation

```bash
npm install vite-plugin-animated-webp-optimizer
```

### Requirements

- **Node.js**: 16.0 or higher
- **Sharp Installation**: `npm install sharp`
- **Vite**: 4.0 or higher

## 🔧 Usage

### Basic Configuration

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import animatedWebpOptimizer from "vite-plugin-animated-webp-optimizer";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    animatedWebpOptimizer({
      quality: 80,
      effort: 4,
      verbose: true,
    }),
  ],
});
```

### Advanced Configuration

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import animatedWebpOptimizer from "vite-plugin-animated-webp-optimizer";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    animatedWebpOptimizer({
      // Basic quality settings
      quality: 85, // WebP quality (1-100)
      effort: 4, // Compression effort (0-6)
      lossless: false, // Enable lossless compression (false = lossy for better performance)

      // Animation-specific settings
      animationQuality: 90, // Animation quality (1-100)
      animationCompression: 5, // Animation compression (0-6)
      optimizeAnimation: true, // Enable animation optimization

      // Size controls
      maxFileSize: 1000000, // Maximum file size in bytes
      skipIfSmaller: 50000, // Skip if file is already smaller

      // Resizing options
      maxWidth: 1920, // Maximum width
      maxHeight: 1080, // Maximum height

      // Performance
      concurrentImages: 5, // Concurrent processing limit

      // Logging
      verbose: true, // Enable detailed logging
    }),
  ],
});
```

## 🏗️ Architecture

The plugin is built with a modular, testable architecture:

### Core Modules

- **`types.ts`**: TypeScript interfaces and type definitions
- **`validators.ts`**: Option validation and default value management
- **`processors.ts`**: WebP processing logic and file handling
- **`utils.ts`**: Utility functions for file operations
- **`index.ts`**: Main plugin entry point and Vite integration

### Key Benefits

- **Testability**: Each module can be tested independently
- **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns
- **Extensibility**: Easy to add new features or modify existing ones
- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions

## 🧪 Testing

### Test Coverage

The project maintains high test coverage across all modules:

- **Types**: 100% coverage
- **Validators**: 100% coverage
- **Processors**: High coverage of core logic
- **Utils**: Comprehensive utility function testing
- **Integration**: Full plugin integration testing

## 📈 Performance Examples

### Typical Results

| File Type     | Original Size | Optimized Size | Savings |
| ------------- | ------------- | -------------- | ------- |
| Static WebP   | 2.5 MB        | 1.8 MB         | 28%     |
| Animated WebP | 15.2 MB       | 11.8 MB        | 22%     |
| Large WebP    | 45.7 MB       | 32.1 MB        | 30%     |

### Optimization Features

- **Smart Compression**: Balances quality and file size
- **Animation Preservation**: Maintains frame timing and loop settings
- **Progressive Enhancement**: Falls back to copying if optimization fails
- **Batch Processing**: Efficient handling of multiple files

## 🎯 How It Works

1. **Build Trigger**: Plugin activates during Vite's `closeBundle` hook
2. **File Discovery**: Scans `public/` directory for WebP files
3. **Type Detection**: Identifies animated vs. static WebP files
4. **Optimization**: Applies appropriate optimization strategy
5. **Output**: Saves optimized files to `dist/` directory

### Technical Details

- **Sharp Integration**: Uses Sharp's native animated WebP support
- **Metadata Preservation**: Maintains animation properties (loop, delay, pages)
- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallback for failed optimizations
- **Memory Management**: Efficient processing of large files

## 🔧 Configuration Options

### Compression Modes

The plugin supports two compression modes:

#### **Lossy Compression (Default)**

```typescript
animatedWebpOptimizer({
  lossless: false, // Default: Fast processing, smaller files
  quality: 80, // Good balance of quality and size
  effort: 2, // Fast compression
});
```

#### **Lossless Compression**

```typescript
animatedWebpOptimizer({
  lossless: true, // Quality preservation, larger files
  quality: 100, // Maximum quality
  effort: 4, // Thorough compression
});
```

### Performance Comparison

| Mode         | Processing Speed | File Size | Quality | Best For             |
| ------------ | ---------------- | --------- | ------- | -------------------- |
| **Lossy**    | ⚡ Fast          | 📉 Small  | 🟡 95%  | Web optimization     |

## 🛠️ Manual WebP Optimization Scripts

For better performance during development, you can use standalone scripts to optimize WebP files before building. These scripts work both locally and when installed via npm.

### **Standalone Optimization Script**

```bash
# Basic optimization
npm run webp:optimize

# Fast optimization (lower quality, faster processing)
npm run webp:optimize:fast

# Watch mode for development
npm run webp:optimize:watch

# Custom settings
npm run webp:optimize -- --quality=75 --effort=1 --source=src/assets --output=dist/assets

# File size limits
npm run webp:optimize -- --maxFileSize=10485760 --skipIfSmaller=204800
```

### **Cleanup Script**

```bash
# Clean optimized files
npm run webp:clean

# Dry run (see what would be deleted)
npm run webp:clean -- --dry-run
```

### **Build Integration**

```bash
# Build with automatic WebP optimization
npm run build

# Fast build (clean + build)
npm run build:fast
```

### **Global Usage (After npm install)**

Once installed, you can use the scripts globally:

```bash
# Install the package
npm install vite-plugin-animated-webp-optimizer

# Use global commands
webp-optimize --fast
webp-optimize --watch
webp-clean

# Or use npx
npx webp-optimize --quality=85 --effort=3
npx webp-clean --dry-run
```

### **Script Options**

| Option              | Description                               | Example                                           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `--fast`            | Enable fast mode (quality: 60, effort: 1) | `npm run webp:optimize -- --fast`                 |
| `--watch`           | Watch for file changes                    | `npm run webp:optimize -- --watch`                |
| `--quality=N`       | Set quality (1-100)                       | `npm run webp:optimize -- --quality=85`           |
| `--effort=N`        | Set effort (0-6)                          | `npm run webp:optimize -- --effort=3`             |
| `--source=DIR`      | Source directory                          | `npm run webp:optimize -- --source=public/images` |
| `--output=DIR`      | Output directory                          | `npm run webp:optimize -- --output=dist/images`   |
| `--maxFileSize=N`   | Maximum file size in bytes                | `npm run webp:optimize -- --maxFileSize=5242880`  |
| `--skipIfSmaller=N` | Skip files smaller than N bytes           | `npm run webp:optimize -- --skipIfSmaller=204800` |

### **Performance Benefits**

- **Faster Development**: WebP optimization happens separately from Vite build
- **Reduced Build Time**: No WebP processing during hot reload
- **Flexible Control**: Choose when and how to optimize
- **Batch Processing**: Process multiple files concurrently
