JavaScript build process using Ant
Written by on March 9th, 2009 in Uncategorized.
Johan “Spocke” Sörlin of Moxiecode has written an article on a build process that uses Ant to munge JavaScript.
The preprocessor lives in the open source js build tools project and allows you to do C-style ifdef type work:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
// #ifdef somedefine
-
-
someLogic();
-
-
// #endif
-
-
someOtherLogic();
-
You can tie this together with Ant by using some custom rules to process and then compress:
XML:
-
-
<preprocess infile=“file.js” outfile=“file.processed.js” defines=“somedefine,someotherdefine” />
-
-
<yuicompress infile=“file.js” outfile=“file.min.js” />
-
