A TextMate bundle which allows you to easily minify your JavaScript files using UglifyJS by Mihai Bazon.
Select one or more files in the file drawer.
Use the shortcut (command-shift-u) or select from the bundle action menu at the bottom of your Textmate window.
A new file will be created with your files combined and minified.
The bundle currently relies on node.js and the UglifyJS npm package. If you need to install these, follow the instructions in the next section, then return here to install the bundle.
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
git clone https://github.com/nextmat/UglifyJS.tmbundle.git UglifyJS.tmbundle
If Textmate is already running you will either need to restart it or run Bundles (menu) → Bundle Editor → Reload Bundles`.
There are a couple of environment variables to set up in TextMate (menu) → Preferences → Advanced → Shell Variables
1: The directories of node and uglifyjs need to be in your PATH. If you used Homebrew to install these will likely both be in /usr/local/bin. You can verify the locations with:
which node
which uglifyjs
2: The bundle should auto-detect your NODE_PATH. If it can't and complains, you should add your NODE_PATH to TextMate’s environment variables.
The bundle currently relies on the UglifyJS package, which runs on top of NodeJS. There are multiple ways to get this installed, but Homebrew is an excellent choice.
brew install node # install node.js
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh # install node package manager
npm install -g uglify-js
Be sure to follow any instructions given by Homebrew regarding environment variables for your shell. After installation you should be able to which node and which uglifyjs. If either don't show you a path, read the post-install instructions from Homebrew again before continuing.
Planned improvements:
- Make bundle dependency-free by including UglifyJS and using Apple's built-in Webkit js intepreter
- More attractive result pages
- Interface improvements
- Add a command for updating to the latest version of the bundle from inside TextMate
I'll get to these as I can, if you feel so motivated I will happily accept patches!
