Globbing

Use "globOptions" to customise how glob patterns match files. Refer to micromatch for available options.

• basename is enabled by default, unless the pattern has a slash.
• basename is disabled depending on each pattern.
• This means the following options would work,

exclude:
  - '*foo.html' # basename is enabled
  - '**/bar/*/*.html' # basename is automatically disabled
  - '*baz.css' # basename is enabled
globOptions:
  basename: true # default

• This behaviour doesn't apply to pattern that starts with ! (negation).
• This limitation only applies to include: option used in svg, gzip and brotli.
• This means the following options would not work,

include:
  - '!foo.svg'
  - '!**/bar/*/*.svg'
globOptions:
  basename: true

• basename will stay disabled, if explicitly disabled in "globOptions".

HTTP Compression

While most modern web browsers support Brotli, you also need to consider whether the web/app server, hosting platform, reverse proxy or CDN (whichever relevant to you) support it.

Brotli support as of May 2022:

Name	Brotli support
GitHub Pages	In consideration
GitLab Pages	Yes
Netlify	Yes
Hexo Server	In progress

If you have access to the web server config, you should disable on-the-fly compression for static files (that are already compressed by this plugin),

• Caddy: 0.9.4+ by default support pre-compressed .gz .br files and on-the-fly gzip compress dynamic files. v2.4.0+ requires specifying the precompressed option.
• nginx: Make sure both filter and static modules are enabled. This way pre-compressed .br files will be served while dynamic content can be compressed on-the-fly. Protip: brotli_types text/plain text/css application/javascript application/json image/svg+xml application/xml+rss; to prevent compressing media files (which are already compressed anyway).
• Apache: See 'Serving pre-compressed content' section of mod_brotli.
• express/connect: Use pre-compressed-assets. You still can continue to use compression/shrink-ray-current for dynamic files.
