I've contributed my Makefile into the CVS, along with updating the /api/ and /util/
files with semi colons (that's enough ;'s for one night).
The JSPack util that is needed to build the compressed DynAPI is released separately:
http://www.dansteinman.com/jspack/
Also, I SERIOUSLY recommend removing the /js/ directory altogether. We don't want
people submitting changes to the files in /js/ because that is the directory that is
automatically created by the makefile.
The examples need to be updated to point to /src/. Also it would be good to ensure
that all the examples use the DynAPI include() so that the switch from /src/ to /js/
is a one line change.
The DynAPI packages that are created by the makefile/jspack will not work correctly
yet. If there is even one line that does not have a semi colon in the right spot
nothing will work.
The Makefile produces a duplicate copy of the /src/ tree with all the .js files
compressed. It also creates .js packages of all the files in the subdirectories(eg
/lib/dynapi.api.js) as well a "all" package which contains everything. It goes one
step further to Jar and Gzip those package files.
As I mentioned earlier the significant semi colon to look for is in this case:
method = function() {
}; // it occurs in event listeners and every prototype in the DynAPI
Also it's better now to never do one line methods like:
obj.prototype.method=function() {code}
Just because it's not easy to spot where the ;'s go:
obj.prototype.method=function() {code;}; // better to unwrap this
The files that need to be updated with semi colons are in /gui/ and /ext/. At that
point we should be able to build and a working compressed DynAPI. It's really quite a
dramatic compression. From 100Kb of code down to 15Kb Jar and Gzip = 85%. Pretty
darned cool if I say so.
Robert will you be able to use jspack on the sourceforge server for cron jobs?
Let me know of any problems,
Dan
