The Silverpeas's UI Compressor is a fork of YUI Compressor which is a JavaScript compressor which, in addition to removing comments and white-spaces, obfuscates local variables using the smallest possible variable name. This obfuscation is safe, even when using constructs such as 'eval' or 'with' (although the compression is not optimal in those cases).
It is also able to safely compress CSS files. The decision on which compressor is being used is made on the file extension (js or css)
mvn clean install
./tests/suite.sh
-h, --help
Prints help on how to use the Silverpeas's UI Compressor
--line-break
Some source control tools don't like files containing lines longer than,
say 8000 characters. The linebreak option is used in that case to split
long lines after a specific column. It can also be used to make the code
more readable, easier to debug (especially with the MS Script Debugger)
Specify 0 to get a line break after each semi-colon in JavaScript, and
after each rule in CSS.
--type js|css
The type of compressor (JavaScript or CSS) is chosen based on the
extension of the input file name (.js or .css) This option is required
if no input file has been specified. Otherwise, this option is only
required if the input file extension is neither 'js' nor 'css'.
--charset character-set
If a supported character set is specified, the Silverpeas's UI Compressor will use it
to read the input file. Otherwise, it will assume that the platform's
default character set is being used. The output file is encoded using
the same character set.
-o outfile
Place output in file outfile. If not specified, the Silverpeas's UI Compressor will
default to the standard output, which you can redirect to a file.
Supports a filter syntax for expressing the output pattern when there are
multiple input files. ex:
java -jar silverpeas-ui-compressor.jar -o '.css$:-min.css' *.css
... will minify all .css files and save them as -min.css
-v, --verbose
Display informational messages and warnings.
--nomunge
Minify only. Do not obfuscate local symbols.
--preserve-semi
Preserve unnecessary semicolons (such as right before a '}') This option
is useful when compressed code has to be run through JSLint
--disable-optimizations
Disable all the built-in micro optimizations.
-
If no input file is specified, it defaults to stdin.
-
Supports wildcards for specifying multiple input files.
-
The Silverpeas's UI Compressor requires Java version >= 1.8.
-
It is possible to prevent a local variable, nested function or function argument from being obfuscated by using "hints". A hint is a string that is located at the very beginning of a function body like so:
function fn (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
"arg2:nomunge, localVar:nomunge, nestedFn:nomunge";
...
var localVar;
...
function nestedFn () {
....
}
...
}
The hint itself disappears from the compressed file.
- C-style comments starting with
/*!are preserved. This is useful with comments containing copyright/license information. As of 2.4.8, the '!' is no longer dropped by Silverpeas's UI Compressor. For example:
/*!
* TERMS OF USE - EASING EQUATIONS
* Open source under the BSD License.
* Copyright 2001 Robert Penner All rights reserved.
*/
remains in the output, untouched by Silverpeas's UI Compressor.
Silverpeas's UI Compressor uses a modified version of the Rhino library (http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/) The changes were made to support JScript conditional comments, preserved comments, unescaped slash characters in regular expressions, and to allow for the optimization of escaped quotes in string literals.
