How to minify?

Hello,

I'm trying to write a module and I want to make sure that it works properly after it is minified.

Which minifier should I use and with what configuration/parameters to get the same results as in the official build system? I'm not using WebIDE.

I'd just use the 'Online Closure Compiler'. Wrap your code in (function() { .... })(), run it through with 'simple optimisations' and then strip that text out afterwards.

Hello,

Has the WebIDE a build in minifier ?

Thanks

Yes, if you click on the Options button and then minify (however this will obviously make it harder to debug your code).

For modules, what I described above will mimic exactly what the Espruino website does with them.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
