Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-11960:
-----------------------------------------
About Uglifying/Minifying js scripts, in OFBIZ-9976 I noted:
{quote}
I checked, it would be easy to add {{"uglify-js": "latest"}} as a dependency in
package.json and so do
{code:java}
+ "uglify-js": "latest"
+ },
+ "scripts": {
+ "uglify": "uglifyjs -o dist/...."
}
}
{code}
But that's unnecessary, at least currently, because all used files (js & css)
under node_modules are already minified, except very little files like
messages_en.js (1 or 2 kb) and only one is loaded at a time.

> Reporter: Aditya Sharma
> Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
> Priority: Trivial
>
> As discussed
> [here|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/re16808eb5b1084f822c74194d23ca073dea4f4df443184f40f5f58c6%40%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E],
> use gradle-js-plugin to ease out managing the JavaScript dependencies. The
> Gradle plugin allows us to automatically download the js libraries to the
> user's system like the Gradle dependencies, so we no longer need to include
> them with the package. It opens door to all the packages and modules
> available at [npm registry|https://www.npmjs.com/]. Also, it can be clubbed
> with Grunt or Gulp implementing tasks to minify external JS and CSS files
> with the custom ones, see
> [here|https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin/blob/master/docs/faq.md#how-do-i-run-commands-provided-by-npm-packages].
> 1. Add
> [gradle-node-plugin|https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin]:
> Gradle plugin for integrating NodeJS in your build
> 2. Create [NPM|https://www.npmjs.com/] package.json with JS dependencies in
> webapp
> 3. Use available tasks to install dependencies

> 4. Use the downloaded JS files in node_modules, updating the current path of
> the JS files.
