asp.net-mvc Bundling and Minification Minification
Example
The minification is used to reduce the size of CSS and Javascript files to speed up download times. This process is done by removing all of the unnecessary white-space, comments, and any other non-essential content from the files.
This process is done automatically when using a ScriptBundle or a StyleBundle object. If you need to disable it, you have to use a basic Bundle object.
Example using Minification
The following code uses preprocessor directives to apply bundling only during releases in order to allow for easier debugging during non-releases (as non-bundled files are typically easier to navigate through) :
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
#if DEBUG
bundles.Add(new Bundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include("~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
bundles.Add(new Bundle("~/Content/css").Include("~/Content/site.css"));
#else
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include("~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include("~/Content/site.css"));
#endif
}
