lpjsmin 0.5

JS Min script that provides cmd line and python processors

lpjsmin for minifying js files

We need to handle several minification goals within the Launchpad codebase. This helps to create a single lib to help handle all of the cases and allow it to be flexibly used in more projects.

Usage

cmd line

You can pass the cmd line lpjsmin either a filename or a directory and it’ll process the file(s) adding a $fname-min.js next to the original file. This is used for things like minifying files in the combo directory. You can just let it know the root of the combo directory and it’ll minify all files it finds in there.

$ lpjsmin -p static/js/
$ lpjsmin -p static/js/myapp.js

python usage

You can import the module and minify in your own build scripts either via just filename and directory.

import lpjsmin
lpjsmin.minify('static/js')
lpjsmin.minify('static/js/myapp.js')

If you need to be able to customize the name or location of the minified files, wrap the lpjsmin script in your own build script and pass it the in/out streams.

import lpjsmin
lpjsmin.minify_stream(
    open('static/js/myapp.js'),
    open('/tmp/myapp.minified.js', 'w')
)

stdin

You can also just pass text at the script via stdin and it’ll minimze it back out to you.

$ cat file.js | lpjsmin
