Minification of the JavaScript files minification-of-the-javascript-files
Minification removes from the source code the redundant characters, such as white space, new line, and comments. This improves the performance by reducing the size of the code. While minification does not impact the functionality, it reduces the readability of the code.
To generate minified code for semantic changes follow these steps.
-
Copy
client-html/src/main/webapp/js
from src-package on filesystem.note note NOTE See Introduction to Customizing AEM Forms workspace for more details about the packages. -
Update paths in
main.js
located under client-html/src/main/webapp/js, for added/updated models/views.For example, addition of a new Sharequeue model, say mySharequeue, change:
code language-none sharequeuemodel : pathprefix + 'runtime/models/sharequeue', To sharequeuemodel : pathprefix + 'runtime/myModels/mySharequeue',
-
Update
registry-config.xml, located at client-html/src/main/webapp/js/resource_generator,
in case there is change/addition of alias inmain.js
.For example, addition of a new Sharequeue model, say mySharequeue, change:
code language-xml <sharequeue name="sharequeue" path="runtime/models/sharequeue.js" service="service"/> To <sharequeue name="sharequeue" path="runtime/myModels/mySharequeue.js" service="service"/>
-
At client-html/src/main/webapp/js/minifier, run command:
code language-shell mvn clean install
It generates a folder minified-files, under client-html/src/main/webapp/js with minified main.js and registry.js.
