BundlerMinifier.Core.Tool 7.0.0

Bundler and Minifier

A .NET Core tool that let's you configure bundling and minification of JS, CSS and HTML files. This is a simplified fork of https://github.com/madskristensen/BundlerMinifier that is kept more up-to-date with NUglify and implements some missing features. It has been repackaged into a .NET Core tool.

GitHub actions have been setup such that new NuGet releases of NUglify will automatically trigger a release and publish of this tool with an incremented version number, so this tool should track NUglify fairly closely. Enjoy! 👍

Install it by running dotnet tool install BundlerMinifier.Core.Tool Invoke it by calling dotnet tool run bundle.

Features

• Bundles CSS, JavaScript or HTML files into a single output file
• Support for globbing patterns
• Minify individual or bundled CSS, JavaScript and HTML files
• Minification options for each language is customizable
• Command line support
• Shortcut to update all bundles in solution
• Suppress output file generation
• Support NUglify killSwitch and ignoreErrorList directives for each bundle.
• A bundle can refer to the output file path of another bundle to include its input files (supports recursion).
• Bundles are processed in parallel for a faster build.

A note about encoding

All files without a BOM (Byte Order Mark) is treated as UTF-8. If you see strange characters in the output bundle files, you may want to consider saving the input files as UTF-8 or an encoding that lets you specify a BOM.

bundleconfig.json

Create a bundleconfig.json file at the root of the project which is used to configure all bundling.

Here's an example of what that file looks like:

[
  {
    "outputFileName": "output/bundle.css",
    "inputFiles": [
      "css/lib/**/*.css", // globbing patterns are supported
      "css/input/site.css"
    ],
    "minify": {
        "enabled": true,
        "commentMode": "all",
        "renameLocals": true,
        "ignoreErrorList": "JS1292,JS1315",
        "gzip": true
    }
  },
  {
    "outputFileName": "output/all.js",
    "inputFiles": [
      "js/*.js",
      "!js/ignore.js" // start with a ! to exclude files
    ]
  },
  {
    "outputFileName": "output/app.js",
    "inputFiles": [
      "input/main.js",
      "input/core/*.js" // all .js files in input/core/
    ]
  }
]

There are some additional values that are possible in the minify section, see src/BundlerMinifier.Core/Minify/JavaScriptOptions.cs and src/BundlerMinifier.Core/Minify/CssOptions.cs for the complete list.
