Deprecation: #94791 - GeneralUtility::minifyJavaScript()¶
See forge#94791
Description¶
The static method TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::minifyJavaScript()
has been marked as deprecated.
Back in TYPO3 4.x times, the "jsmin" library was used to minify
JavaScript, however as this became more flexible, a hook was
introduced, and then "jsmin" was removed again. Since then,
the hook to minify inline JavaScript is used in PageRenderer,
and should rather be moved into the ResourceCompressor
functionality,
where it resides now.
The hook itself works exactly as before.
Impact¶
Calling the method will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED
error. Extension
scanner will detect calls as strong match.
Affected Installations¶
TYPO3 installations with custom extensions calling this method, which is highly unlikely.
Custom extensions using this hook will still work as before without any changes.
Migration¶
As this method was used to only trigger a hook, it is recommended
to use the PageRenderer
and ResourceCompressor
API instead, removing
any direct calls to this method.
If still needed, extension authors can also copy the hook call execution to use the hook logic, which is not recommended though.
