缩小/组合JS文件

Question

I have around 6-7 javascript files that I want to minify and combine. I have been minifying my javascript here: http://www.minifyjavascript.com/

I am having a little difficulty "combining" my javascript. By combine, am I just copy and pasting all the javascript to one huge js file? If I do this, I will end up with around 1000 lines of code and I have to figure out exact dependencies. Is there an easy program online that can do this for me? Also, do I have to combine scripts such as jquery with my scripts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

There is the Closure Compiler from Google, that will combine JS files and minify them to a level of your choosing. It certainly saves a great deal of playing about with cutting & pasting which, as you probably know, can get very complicated.

Answer 2

I just use Notepad++ and the JSMin plugin. I would just copy them in the order in which you include them in your html files.

And no, I would not combine jsquery plugin with it. Keep them separate so you can update independently of them.

Answer 3

Check out PackScript.

It does all you need and much more.

Answer 4

Check this python script.

http://github.com/hkasera/minify

It minifies js as well as css files too. It stores detailed log files and you can add this script as a git hook and save yourself from doing it manually everytime.

Hope it may help!
