# grunt-smushit [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/heldr/grunt-smushit.svg)](http://travis-ci.org/heldr/grunt-smushit)

Grunt plugin to remove unnecessary bytes of PNG and JPG using reSmush.it

> reSmush.it is a FREE alternative to Yahoo Smush.it (deprecated on March 2015). This tool provides a online way to optimize pictures size via a documented webservice.

## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `0.4.x`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-smushit --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-smushit');
```

## The "smushit" task

### Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named `smushit` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {
mygroup: {
src: ['tests/img/**/*.png','tests/img/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/img/min'
}
}
});
```

### Options

#### options.service
Type: `String`
Default value: `null`
Call another service instead of Yahoo Smushit

#### options.verbose
Type: `boolean`
Default value: `true`
Show image compressing rate log

### Usage Examples

#### Output Folder
Move your files to a target folder (should not be into the same).

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {

// catch all files from a single folder
group1: {
src: 'tests/img',
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// filter by filetype
group2: {
src: ['tests/img/**/*.png','tests/img/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/img/min'
},

// set each file
group3:{
src: ['tests/img/logo.png','tests/img/whatever.png'],
dest: 'tests/img/min'
}

}
});
```

#### Replace files
Be safe to replace all of your old files with this option.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {

// a single directory
group1: {
src: 'tests/img'
},

// filter by filetype
group2: {
src: ['tests/img/**/*.png','tests/img/**/*.jpg']
},

//replace recursive
group3: {
src: ['tests/img/logo.png','tests/img/tellme.jpg']
}

}
});
```

#### Work with a nested folder
Recursively walk into folders and smushit files

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {

// catch all files from a nested folder
group1: {
src: 'tests/nested/img',
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// filter files in a nested folder by filetype
group2: {
src: ['tests/nested/img/**/*.png','tests/nested/img/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// retrieve files in a nested folder by file name
group3: {
src: ['tests/nested/img/**/southpark.png','tests/nested/img/**/southpark.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},
}
});
```

#### Provide multiple source
Smushit one folder, or many of them

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {

// catch all files from a nested folder
group1: {
src: ['tests/img1', 'tests/img2'],
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// filter files in a folder by filetype
group2: {
src: ['tests/img1/**/*.png','tests/img2/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// retrieve files in a folder by file name
group3: {
src: ['tests/img1/**/southpark.png','tests/img2/**/southpark.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},
}
});
```

#### Use of cwd
Provide your base directory

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {

// src folder is 'tests/img' and dest is 'tests/opt_img'
group1: {
cwd: 'tests'
expand: true,
src: 'img',
dest: 'tests/opt_img'
},

// multiple src folders: src folder is ['tests/img1', 'tests/img2'] and dest is 'tests/img/min'
group2: {
cwd: 'tests'
expand: true,
src: ['img1/**/*.png','img2/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/img/min'
},
}
});
```

#### Your own service
There is an option that you can set your own image optimizer service. Its a good alternative if you don't want to wait for smush.it web service latency.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
smushit: {
options: {
service: 'http://myimgopt.com/exec'
},
mygroup: {
src: ['tests/img/**/*.png','tests/img/**/*.jpg'],
dest: 'tests/img/min'
}
}
});
```
