Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-11960:
---------------------------------------
We are using Gradle to minify js and css files, the task generates *.min.*
files which is essential because you need the originals for changes.
> Use NPM with gradle to get external JS dependencies

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ALL APPLICATIONS
> Affects Versions: Trunk, Upcoming Branch
> 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.
