NAME

       JavaScript::Minifier - Perl extension for minifying JavaScript code

SYNOPSIS

       To minify a JavaScript file and have the output written directly to another file

         use JavaScript::Minifier qw(minify);

         open(my $in, 'myScript.js') or die;
         open(my $out, '>', 'myScript-min.js') or die;

         minify(input => $in, outfile => $out);

         close($in);
         close($out);

       To minify a JavaScript string literal. Note that by omitting the outfile parameter a the
       minified code is returned as a string.

         my $minifiedJavaScript = minify(input => 'var x = 2;');

       To include a copyright comment at the top of the minified code.

         minify(input => 'var x = 2;', copyright => 'BSD License');

       To treat ';;;' as '//' so that debugging code can be removed. This is a common JavaScript
       convention for minification.

         minify(input => 'var x = 2;', stripDebug => 1);

       The "input" parameter is mandatory. The "output", "copyright", and "stripDebug" parameters
       are optional and can be used in any combination.

DESCRIPTION

       This module removes unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript code. The primary requirement
       developing this module is to not break working code: if working JavaScript is in input
       then working JavaScript is output. It is ok if the input has missing semi-colons, snips
       like '++ +' or '12 .toString()', for example. Internet Explorer conditional comments are
       copied to the output but the code inside these comments will not be minified.

       The ECMAScript specifications allow for many different whitespace characters: space,
       horizontal tab, vertical tab, new line, carriage return, form feed, and paragraph
       separator. This module understands all of these as whitespace except for vertical tab and
       paragraph separator. These two types of whitespace are not minimized.

       For static JavaScript files, it is recommended that you minify during the build stage of
       web deployment. If you minify on-the-fly then it might be a good idea to cache the
       minified file. Minifying static files on-the-fly repeatedly is wasteful.

   EXPORT
       Exported by default: "minifiy()"
