NAME

       JavaScript::Packer - Perl version of Dean Edwards' Packer.js

VERSION

       Version 1.006003

DESCRIPTION

       A JavaScript Compressor

       This module is an adaptation of Dean Edwards' Packer.js.

       Additional information: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/

SYNOPSIS

           use JavaScript::Packer;

           my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

           $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts );

       To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

           my $ret = $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts );

       For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

           JavaScript::Packer::minify( $javascript, $opts );

       The first argument must be a scalarref of javascript-code.

       Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are:

       compress
           Defines  compression  level.  Possible values are 'clean', 'shrink', 'obfuscate' and 'best'.  Default
           value is 'clean'.  'best' uses 'shrink' or 'obfuscate' depending on which result is shorter. This  is
           recommended  because  especially  when  compressing short scripts the result will exceed the input if
           compression level is 'obfuscate'.

       copyright
           You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script.

       remove_copyright
           If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to  a  true
           value. Otherwise the first comment that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the
           packed  script.  A  copyright  comment  will  be  overwritten  by a copyright notice defined with the
           copyright option.

       no_compress_comment
           If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a JavaScript comment that prevents  the  input  being
           packed or defines a compression level.

               /* JavaScript::Packer _no_compress_ */
               /* JavaScript::Packer shrink */

EXAMPLES

       Example 1
           Common usage.

               #!/usr/bin/perl

               use strict;
               use warnings;

               use JavaScript::Packer;

               my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

               open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' );
               open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' );

               my $js = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> );

               $packer->minify( \$js, { compress => 'best' } );

               print COMPRESSED $js;
               close(UNCOMPRESSED);
               close(COMPRESSED);

       Example 2
           A scalar is requested by the context. The input will remain unchanged.

               #!/usr/bin/perl

               use strict;
               use warnings;

               use JavaScript::Packer;

               my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

               open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' );
               open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' );

               my $uncompressed = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> );

               my $compressed = $packer->minify( \$uncompressed, { compress => 'best' } );

               print COMPRESSED $compressed;
               close(UNCOMPRESSED);
               close(COMPRESSED);
