Hi, as some of you I mix Lazarus/FPC applications with Javascript/HTML/CSS web sites. As you know, the trend now is using NodeJs for everything, but as I see it too bloated I'm looking for small utilities to do the usual tasks, I mean minifying, linting, uglifying.

I'm not neccesarily looking for programs developed using FPC, those can be done in C (like jsmin from Douglas Crockford) or C++, or any other compiled language without dependencies (please, not Java nor .Net).

Why I ask this here?, well, first of all, because this is a very friendly community, many of you think as I that software should be as least bloated as possible, also because I asked this before on the javascript irc channel and everyone uses NodeJs there, also I've got many -1s in StackOverflow for asking for specific 3rd party utilities.

Regards,

I have translated jsmin to pascal and use that version. I can commit it to fcl-js.

I use the lazarus IDE for writing js code.
I made a IDE extension that lets you check the JS code using fcl-js. Adding the jsmin tool should be easy.

Stackoverflow nazis do get annoying. Try reddit. They are more friendly and newbie questions gets responses. No one is going to close or mark your question for deletion.

Hi Michael, could you post jsmin.pas here?.

I added it to FPC SVN. packages/fcl-js, unit jsminifier. I included an example program.

Improvements and suggestions welcome.

Michael.

Thanks Michael, that's great!.

BTW, I've found also a CSS Minifier, developed by Udo Schmal (http://www.gocher.me/CSSMin) I'll ask him if he allow us to add it to fcl-js.

Michael, I've got the answer from Udo Schmal, he gave permission to include the unit in fcl-js, here's his answer:

Hi Leonardo, I've updated the code so that it doesn't need the two additional

units as in

the old version. The code I published is based on some RegExp and is

therefore

slow. Unfortunately I did not have time to change the code similar to

the jsmin

function. But, feel free to share the code. Regards, Udo Schmal http://www.gocher.me

This is the link to the unit: http://www.gocher.me/code/css.pas
