Minify

[Aguxtin]

Is there a way to minify per file, or per assembly ?

In my current scenario I have an assembly that generates many individual files.

I would like to be able to minify them individually, if possible, or globally. And preferably to be able to do it with a simple toggle.

Let me know !

Cordially, Agustin

Hi, 

There are two ways, one creates bundles from files:

[assembly: JsMergedFile(Sources=[...], Filename="...", Minify=true)]

http://sharpkit.net/help/SharpKit.JavaScript/SharpKit.JavaScript/JsMergedFileAttribute/

The other one is global using:

[assembly: JsExport(Minify=true)]

You might have an issue of having the non minified and minified automatically since the JsExport.Minify flag is global. So you can either use #IF compiler directive with two configurations (every compilation will create either minified or non-minified js files), or generate a [JsMergedFile] line of code for each file, which will give you both.

Hey Dan, thanks for the reply. Tried the global setting and it sort of worked. Is it possible to have minification refactor names so they are shorter ?

Not saying obfuscation. Most major scripts do this refactoring on min files, savings would be larger. 

Also, thinking that any minification, good as it is, would make it hard to debug, I'm thinking how to approach this, and it's a little convoluted and error prone, do you have a good suggestion as to how to deal with a debug / production scenario ?

Well many minifiers today generate source maps, which allow you to debug your original file over the minified file. SharpKit generates source maps, but it will map the files to your cs files and not to your unminified js files. You can use an external minifier tool for this.

Otherwise, you can do what I usually do, add a query string / config option that sends the page with the original js files without minification or consolidation - for debugging purposes.

As for option 2, you mention query string / config etc. For this you need 2 sets of files per JS file, one minified and one expanded. We can't do this with sharpkit, right ? Have to have SK export unminified, and plug your own minifier somewhere in your dev pipeline, is that right ? 

As for option 1, I want to play with the source maps you mention, any thread / tutorial on how to jump start that ?

Thanks !

Regarding option 2 - you can do it if you don't use JsExport.Minify - but instead use JsMergedFile(Minify=true) - this allows you as many sets of minified / non minified files as you want.

option 1 - yes please go through the instructions here:
