This is a plugin that interfaces with our own flavor of JSMin to minify
CSS and JavaScript files and also compress them into a single include file. We
have also added LESS support for compiling LESS into CSS for you or on-demand.
Configuration Settings:
jsmin_enable : boolean (defaults to true)
- flag to enable disable the packaging process
jsmin_cacheLocation : string
- the relative file location where cached minified js/css files will be stored,
this location will be expanded. ex: includes/cache
If any of the minify methods cannot find a location argument or the jsmin_cacheLocation setting
then an exception will be thrown.
Usage:
* minify(assets:string, location:relativePath) : html script or link
The main method of operation is minify(). You pass to it a list of assets to compress,
but they have to be of the same type: js or css/less. Do not alternate or weird results will
happen. This method returns a script or link include that you would output on your layouts:
<head>
#getMyPlugin("JSMin").minify('includes/js/myscripts.js,includes/js/jquery.js')#
#getMyPlugin("JSMin").minify('includes/css/site.css,includes/css/boxes.css')#
#getMyPlugin("JSMin").minify('includes/css/site.less,includes/css/boxes.less')#
// With Location
#getMyPlugin("JSMin").minify(assets='includes/css/site.less,includes/css/boxes.less',
location='includes/mycache')#
</head>
As you can see from the example above, you can easily render the minified version of all
the assets. This plugin will minify each asset and if more than 1 is declared, then it
will build a concatenated version of the js or css/less assets and cache them. If the files
are of LESS extension, then the plugin will compile the LESS into CSS files.
You can use the alternate 'location' argument to choose the location of the compressed and
minified files.
* minifyToHead(assets:string, location:relativePath) : void
This method basically sends the HTML links and script tags to the head section using
cfhtmlhead. You can use this method when calling JSMin via handlers or plugins or any other
location than layouts.
* compileLessSource(input:LESS, [ output:absolutePath ]) : CSS
This method compiles LESS source into CSS for you and returns it to you if no output argument is used,
else the compiled source is sent to the output file. An extra goody about this method is that
compilation only takes place if the source LESS file has been modified.
* compileLess(input:absolutePath, [ output:absolutePath ]) : [void | CSS]
This methods can compile an input LESS file into an output CSS file or you can omit passing
the output file argument and the method will return to you the compiled CSS.
