# Laravel Mix Favicon Generator

**Laravel Mix extension to generate favicons and include them into the HTML from single PNG/JPG/SVG image.**

## Note

When mix hot is running, just add your file into `inputPath` (only PNG/JPG/SVG, recommended) which will generate favicons for your website and inject HTML into your blade, if enabled*. See options for more detail.

## Installation

Install the extension:

```sh
npm install laravel-mix-favicon-generator
```

Next require the extension inside your Laravel Mix config and call `favicon()` in your pipeline:

```js
// webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-favicon-generator');

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
    .favicon();
```

## Options

#### Default options

If nothing is passed to the extension inside your Laravel Mix config, the following options will be used:

```js
{
    inputPath: 'resources/assets/favicon/generate',
    inputFile: '*.{jpg,png,svg}',
    publicPath: 'public',
    output: '/assets/favicon',
    usePathAsIs: true,
    dataFile: 'faviconData.json',
    blade: 'resources/views/blocks/favicon.blade.php',
    reload: false,
    debug: false,
    compression: 0,
    scalingAlgorithm: 'Mitchell',
    bgColor: '#ffffff',
    appName: 'Web App',

      name: 'Web App',
      display: 'standalone',
      orientation: 'portrait',
      on_conflict: 'override',
      declared: true
    }
