combining multiple .js files into one in a build process

Question

Any tips on combining multiple .js files into 1 (for a build process).

Will yuicompressor do this?

Answer 1

YUI Compressor can do this very easily, just send in the file names into YUI as arguments and it will output them as one file.

For example

> yuicompressor-2.4.2 file1.js file2.js file3.js -o combined.min.js

Answer 2

总是旧的备用（没有压缩像YUI压缩器） cat file1.js file2.js > newfile.js

Answer 3

This worked for me

cat file1.js file2.js file3.js | yuicompressor-2.4.2 --type js -o combined.min.js

And if order is not important

cat *.js | yuicompressor-2.4.2 --type js -o combined.min.js

Answer 4

If doesn't work

yui-compressor file1.js file2.js file3.js -o combined.min.js

try this:

for file in file1.js file2.js file3.js
do
  yui-compressor $file >> combined.min.js
done
