Usage

Option 1: Direct class usage

$file = public_path('images/news1.jpg');
$files = [
    public_path('images/news1.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news2.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news3.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news4.jpg'),
];

$resmushit = new ReSmushIt();
$result  = $resmushit->path($file);
$results = $resmushit->paths($files);

Option 2: Facade usage

$file = public_path('images/news1.jpg');
$files = [
    public_path('images/news1.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news2.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news3.jpg'),
    public_path('images/news4.jpg'),
];

Optimize::path($file);
Optimize::paths($files);

Error Handling

If the reSmush.it API is unreachable, times out, or returns an invalid response, the optimizer will return a structured error array instead of triggering a fatal error.

Example

$result = Optimize::path($file);

if (isset($result['error'])) {
    // Handle the error (log it, retry, notify user, etc.)
}

Return Value

Both path() and paths() always return arrays.

• On success, the response contains optimization details returned by the reSmush.it API.
• On failure, the response contains an error key describing the issue, along with additional context when available.

This applies to both single and batch optimization.
