minification of angularjs itself

[Johan Dindaine]

I am trying to minify my project in two files:

. one minified files which contains all our dependencies, eg: angular.js, angular-route.js, angular-touch.js, underscore.js etc,

. one minified file which represent my application, eg: userModule and business modules.

I tried to achieve this in two ways:

. by concatenating the minified version of the libraries that I need for my project and secondly,

. by concatenating all the un-minified version of the same libraries and minifying it with uglifyjs.

In either way the resulting files was throwing "Unexpected token" exceptions in the browser due to some syntactic issues in angular.js file.

So I wonder how anyone can ever minify that file at all. Should I use another tool instead?

Hi Johan,

Concatenating the minified version should give you no problem. However, you should take care on

the ordering of your resources. If you for example put angular-route before angular itself, you might

get the error you are experiencing. 

the same issue goes on of you do the build and minify the libraries yourself. This is however not

recommend, there are some issues that you should take in account if you want to minify angular yourself.

I got the resource from bower, could that be the problem?

Hi Johan,

No, that's not the problem. The problem is the order in wich you concatenate your files. AngularJS should go first.

I thought that Jquery needed to come first so that angular avoid using its jqlite then angularjs then angular-route and so on.

yes, this is true. Jquery, angular, angular modules, etc. 

I use uglify over my dependencies like this and have no issues, in even your most basic test things fail?

Hi Johan,

That's right, but you didn't mention jQuery earlier, so I didn't take that in account ;)
