Pack and compress client-side source code.

Features:

• CSS, JS -- minification and merging files
• HTML -- minification with proper handling of script and style tags
• PHP -- same as HTML, but PHP code is left untouched

git clone https://github.com/Eyjafjallajokull/wecomp
cd wecomp
sudo easy_install slimit
for python < 2.7 or < 3.2: sudo easy_install argparse
sudo ./setup.py install

By default script uses slimit JavaScript compressor. Optionally you can set it to use Google closure compiler, YUI Compressor or whatever you like. Simply create file ~/.wecomp with contents:

[global]
# Google Closure compiler
jscompiler = java -jar $HOME/lib/compiler.jar --compilation_level SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS < %(input)s > %(output)s
# or for YUI
# jscompiler = java -jar $HOME/lib/yuicompressor-2.4.6.jar --type js %(input)s > %(output)s

wecomp [-h] [-o OUTFILE] [-t TYPE] [-f] [-d] [INFILE [INFILE ...]]

• -h, --help show help message
• -o OUTFILE, --output OUTFILE output file
• -t TYPE, --type TYPE force file type
• -f force compression (ignore file modification time)
• -d delete source files

Examples:

• Compress CSS file, work with stdin & stdout:

  Note: When input stream is stdin then --type parameter must be set.

  wecomp --type css < style.css > style.min.css
  cat style.css | wecomp --type css
  wecomp style.css > style.min.css
  

• Compress CSS file, output to file:

  Note: Nothing will be done if output file is newer then input, use -f to ignore check.

  wecomp style.css --output style.min.css
  

• Join and compress JS files, output to file:

  wecomp js/* --output main.min.js
  

• Compress all templates:

  Note: PHP code will be left untouched, while compressing everything outside.

  for f in `find ./templates/ -name "*php"`; do 
  	wecomp -f $f $f
  done
