jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid - Topic: Minifying jqGrid from GitHub http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/discussion/minifying-jqgrid-from-github Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 OlegK on Minifying jqGrid from GitHub http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/discussion/minifying-jqgrid-from-github#p27780 Discussion http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/discussion/minifying-jqgrid-from-github#p27780 Hello,

in my opinion it would be gut to ask Tony to create more frequently minor jqGrid releases. For example one could create 4.4.2 now.

If you need to create jquery.jqGrid.min.js yourself you can do the following: If you would open jquery.jqGrid.min.js you will find the comment started with "* Modules:" directly at the beginning of the file. After the text "* Modules:" you will see

grid.base.js; jquery.fmatter.js; grid.custom.js; grid.common.js; grid.formedit.js; grid.filter.js; grid.inlinedit.js; grid.celledit.js; jqModal.js; jqDnR.js; grid.subgrid.js; grid.grouping.js; grid.treegrid.js; grid.import.js; JsonXml.js; grid.tbltogrid.js; grid.jqueryui.js;

It's the full list of modules of jqGrid included in the file jquery.jqGrid.min.js. You can concatinate the files from github in exactly the same order to create your version of jquery.jqGrid.src.js file.

Now you can use any minifier which you like to produce the resulting jquery.jqGrid.min.js. For example you can download  Microsoft Ajax Minifier. To create jquery.jqGrid.min.js you can use

AjaxMin.exe -enc:in utf-8 jquery.jqGrid.src.js -o jquery.jqGrid.min.js

If you want you can produce minimize version of grid.locale-XX.js files in the same way. Because the files contains Unicode characters you need use additional option -enc:out utf-8 to have correctly encoded results.

AjaxMin.exe -enc:in utf-8 -enc:out utf-8 grid.locale-de.js -o grid.locale-de.min.js

You can use the same option to create jquery.jqGrid.min.js too.

If you use some plugins from plugins subdirectory you can create minified version of the files too.

Advantage of AjaxMin.exe is that it can be used not only for minification of JS files, but for minification of CSS files too. For example I use ui.jqgrid.min.css in release version of my projects created with

AjaxMin.exe ui.jqgrid.css -o ui.jqgrid.min.css

Best regards
Oleg

P.S. By the way the jquery.jqGrid.min.js created with respect of AjaxMin.exe is a little smaller as the original jquery.jqGrid.min.js.

Any way to easily minify jqgrid from github on windows ?

The UTF-8 flag fixed the errors. YUI Compressor should be sufficient to create minified builds for the project. No need to worry about the PHP version unless someone else needs it. For reference, here is the PowerShell command line that I'm using to compress and combine all of the JS files into a single jquery.jqGrid.min.js file:

ls .\\jqGrid\\js\\*.js | foreach { java -jar .\\yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar $_.FullName –charset utf-8 >> min\\jquery.jqGrid.min.js }

Thanks again.

Will see what I can do. The download manager is in php with a lot of modules that should be enabled.

Also I build jqGrid with YUI Compressor. In order to compress correct you should set a parameter --charset=utf-8 to the comand line of every module - i.e

java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar "grid.base.js" --charset=utf-8 -o "min\\grid.base.js"

Hope this will help

Regards

Tony

Right now the download page produces a zip of the minified files for jqGrid 3.5 Beta (build5), but I need some of the recent fixes that are only in GitHub. (We're just adding features that require tree grids.) I would like an easy way of producing minified files from GitHub so that I can easily track fixes. I would rather not have to swap between the loader and minified versions as fixes are released to GitHub and eventually the download page.

BTW - I tried YUI Compressor, but it fails on jquery.searchFilter.js with two illegal character and one syntax error. I'd rather not create a custom version of this file that is ammenable to minification.

Thanks, James
