gulp Minifying JS Minify JS using gulp-minify
Example
First, Install gulp and gulp-minify to project directory locally
npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-minify
Then add following min-js task to your gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var minify = require('gulp-minify');
gulp.task('min-js', function() {
return gulp.src('lib/*.js')
.pipe(minify({
ext: {
min: '.min.js'
},
ignoreFiles: ['-min.js']
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('lib'))
});
gulp.task('watch', function(){
gulp.watch('lib/*.js', ['min-js']);
// Other watchers
});
gulp.task('default', ['min-js', 'watch']);
This task find all js files in lib directory, minfy it and save to lib directory with .min.js suffix. For example, after minify lib/app.js file will be created a lib/app.min.js file
Besides running as a dependency for the 'default' gulp task, this task can be run manually by typing the following command:
gulp min-js
