Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Canonical Javascript/CSS code organization

BTW I have a similar problem today: for example we provide two versions of xwiki.js, one xwiki-min.js and one xwiki.js. However both versions are minified. We should provide a non minified one for when we pass minify=false in the query string. We could do something like: * Bundle 2 versions in the JAR: a minified one and a non-minified one. * At runtime, somehow group all js files located in all webjars into a single minified js file (yuicompressor). We’re doing this for JSX so we should be able to implement this for webjars too. Something like a JVM JIT for JS files. * When the WebJarsResourceReferenceHandler is used to access a webjar resource, if minify=false is specified in the URL, copy the non-minified resource somewhere on the filesystem (probably in the data dir for now) and return it. If the resource already exists on the FS, serve it from there and don’t extract it from the JAR. This would allow devs to make changes to that version and see the result, and also to debug easily JS in the browser. [snip] Thanks -Vincent
