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.
