is there a way to remove comments from generated files?

[Bruno Henrique]

Hello guys i'm using Squishit and it came to my mind if  there's a way to remove comments from generated files by AsNamed method?

I'm using a class to manage and create my bundles and these bundles are always reregistered when my application start then on my views i call those bundle key who create the tag for my generated file...
Example:

//File GLOBAL.ASASX

public class MvcApplication : HttpApplication{

public void RegisterBundles(){

   BundleSquishltHelper.IsToForceRelease(_default_isto_force_release);

   Bundle.Css().ClearCache();

   Bundle.JavaScript().ClearCache();

 

  //when only mycontroller it means my default action it's index, so the css represented below is for mycontroller.index.css or just mycontroller.css

   BundleSquishltHelper.NewCssBundle("cssmycontrollermyaction", new List<BundleSquishltHelper.Squishit>()

   {

                new BundleSquishltHelper.Squishit("~/assets/css/mycontroller.css"),

    });

}

}

public class BundleSquishltHelper{

//properties...

//methods...

public static void NewBundle(string key, BundleType type, List<Squishit> files){

//things go here

myinstance.AsNamed(key, renderToFile);

}

}

This is typically a concern with the minifier itself.  Though it doesn't look like we are exposing a way to pass in the settings right now.

I can likely add this capability if you need it - it should be there IMO.  What version are you running currently?

Thanks,

So I've reviewed this further and you can currently achieve this using the MsMinifier (this is the default currently).  Use the following in your global.asax.cs or owin startup:

            Configuration.Apply(iso =>

            {

                iso.DefaultCssMinifier = new MsMinifier(new CssSettings

                {

                    CommentMode = CssComment.None

                });

            });

I need to make the YuiMinifier constructors public but once that is done you will be able to do the same for YUI:

            Configuration.Apply(iso =>

            {

                iso.DefaultCssMinifier = new YuiMinifier(columnWidth: -1, compressionType: CompressionType.Standard, removeComments: true);

            });

Hopefully this helps.  I will try to get nuget updated today.

Hey Alex thanks a lot for the working...

I was not able to answer but it's great to know that we'll be able to remove comments now...

A lot of thanks!

No worries - I actually thought this was already there so thank YOU for pointing it out :)
