We have 2 blocks defined in our index.html - one for 3rd party libs and one for our application files. Since 3rd party libs are already minified, we just want to concatenate them, but not uglify. How can I do this with useminPrepare
?
<!-- build:js js/lib.js -->
<script src="lib/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js js/app.js -->
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers/LanguageCtrl.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
gruntfile.js:
useminPrepare: {
html: '<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html',
options: {
dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>',
flow: {
html: {
steps: {
// TODO for libs.js block I don't want uglify!
js: ['concat', 'uglifyjs'],
css: ['cssmin']
},
post: {}
}
}
}
}
Seems that You need to define your custom block. Will show on example - creating custom block "myjs" with concat only.
Gruntfile.js
useminPrepare: {
html: '<%= config.app %>/index.html',
options: {
dest: '<%= config.dist %>',
flow: {
// i'm using this config for all targets, not only 'html'
steps: {
// Here you define your flow for your custom block - only concat
myjs: ['concat'],
// Note that you NEED to redefine flow for default blocks...
// These below is default flow.
js: ['concat', 'uglifyjs'],
css: ['concat', 'cssmin']
},
// also you MUST define 'post' field to something not null
post: {}
}
},
},
You also need to define block replacement for your custom block. These block should be the same as for js.
Gruntfile.js:
usemin: {
options: {
assetsDirs: ['<%= config.dist %>', '<%= config.dist %>/images'],
blockReplacements: {
// our 'replacement block'
myjs: function (block) {
return '<script src="' + block.dest + '"></script>';
}
// no need to redefine default blocks
}
},
html: ['<%= config.dist %>/{,*/}*.html'],
css: ['<%= config.dist %>/styles/{,*/}*.css']
},
So, now You can use your new custom block in your index.html:
<!-- build:myjs js/lib.js -->
<script src="lib/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js js/app.js -->
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers/LanguageCtrl.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
Now it should work as You want. I haven't tested this code, but i have very similar config in my app and it works like a charm. I also had some problems with defining replacement blocks - it was very frustrating.
Hope it helps!
