sbt-web plugin for brotli-compressing web assets using brotli4j bindings.

Rewritten from sbt-gzip sources, thanks to Typesafe/Lightbend. Some parts of code, docs, tests are copy-pasted with no changes.

Add the plugin to project/plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.dwickern" % "sbt-web-brotli" % "2.0.0")

Add brotli to the sbt-web asset pipeline in your build.sbt:

pipelineStages := Seq(brotli)

Pipeline stages are only used in the production build. To see the output of your pipeline, run in your sbt shell:

> show webStage

Include and exclude filters can be provided. For example, to only create brotli files for .js files:

brotli / includeFilter := "*.js"

Or to exclude all .js files but include any other files:

brotli / excludeFilter := "*.js"

The default filters configured like this:

brotli / includeFilter := "*.html" || "*.css" || "*.js"
brotli / excludeFilter := HiddenFileFilter || "*.woff" || "*.woff2" || "*.gz"

If you also use sbt-gzip, make sure brotli comes after gzip in the pipeline:

pipelineStages := Seq(gzip, brotli)

Or, alternatively, configure gzip to ignore the brotli-compressed files:

pipelineStages := Seq(brotli, gzip)
gzip / excludeFilter ~= { _ || "*.br" }

If you encounter java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Failed to load Brotli native library

1. Upgrade to sbt 1.7.3 or later, which includes an important fix coursier#2286
2. Make sure you're using a platform supported by brotli4j
3. Make sure Couriser is not disabled (e.g. with the useCoursier setting)

Otherwise, you can add the brotli4j native library for your platform to libraryDependencies in project/plugins.sbt.
