# brotli plugin for webpack
[](https://greenkeeper.io/)
This plugin compresses assets with [Brotli](https://github.com/google/brotli) compression algorithm using [zlib](https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_zlib_brotlicompress_buffer_options_callback), [iltorb](https://github.com/MayhemYDG/iltorb#brotliencodeparams) or [brotli.js](https://github.com/foliojs/brotli.js) libraries for serving it with [ngx_brotli](https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli) or such.
## Installation
```
npm install --save-dev brotli-webpack-plugin
```
## Usage
``` javascript
var BrotliPlugin = require('brotli-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new BrotliPlugin({
asset: '[path].br[query]',
test: /\.(js|css|html|svg)$/,
threshold: 10240,
minRatio: 0.8
})
]
}
```
Arguments:
* `asset`: The target asset name. Defaults to `'[path].br[query]'`.

* `[path]` is replaced with the path of the original asset.
* `[query]` is replaced with the query.
* `test`: All assets matching this RegExp are processed. Defaults to every asset.
* `threshold`: Only assets bigger than this size (in bytes) are processed. Defaults to `0`.
* `minRatio`: Only assets that compress better that this ratio are processed. Defaults to `0.8`.
* `deleteOriginalAssets`: remove original files that were compressed with brotli. Default: false
