bundling-and-minification

Is it possible to detect a bundle querystring in ASP.NET MVC? For example if I have the following bundle request: /css/bundles/mybundle.css?v=4Z9jKRKGzlz-D5dJi5VZtpy4QJep62o6A-xNjSBmKwU1 Is it possible to extract the v querystring?: 4Z9jKRKGzlz-D5dJi5VZtpy4QJep62o6A-xNjSBmKwU1 I've tried doing this in a bundle transform, but with no luck. I found that even with UseServerCache set to false the transform code didn't always run. Its been a while since I've worked with the ASP Bundler (I remember it being total shit), and these notes are from my memory. Please verify its still valid. I will update

I created some theme HtmlHelper extensions for that grab the .css and .js files in a theme directory and dynamically register them as bundles. However, if the theme only contains .min.js files, the Scripts.Render output is empty in debug mode. Is there a way to include *.min.js files in the output for Scripts.Render when in debug mode? Figured it out. BundleTable.Bundles.IgnoreList.Clear(); // apparently, IgnoreList included .min.js in debug BundleTable.Bundles.IgnoreList.Ignore(".intellisense.js", OptimizationMode.Always); BundleTable.Bundles.IgnoreList.Ignore("-vsdoc.js", OptimizationMode

Using the latest version of MVC4 I can't minify javascript when it contains reserved words as key names! See the error below with the valid javascript that should have been minified. Does anyone know how to fix this short of rewriting the javascript to use [""] notation? PS The code in question is a few thousand lines long, so it's not an option! /* Minification failed. Returning unminified contents. (3,9-15): run-time warning JS1010: Expected identifier: delete (4,9-13): run-time warning JS1010: Expected identifier: case (5,9-11): run-time warning JS1010: Expected identifier: if (3,9-15): run

I am trying to use MVC4's new "bundling and minification". For IE conditional comments, I'm still doing it the old way: <!--[if lt IE 9]><link href=.../><![endif]--> or <!--[if lt IE 9]>@Styles.Render("~/foo")<![endif]--> but I don't seem to get the automatic debug/release handling. Is there a built-in way to do this? How are others doing this? EDIT: Also it would be great to be able to include <noscript> tags inside the rendered output (used for fallbacks). Until I find a better way, I made an adaptor class called Bundles , which has the method: public static IHtmlString RenderStylesIe(string

My web app is using a large icon set with jquery-ui and jqgrid. In order to easily maintain the changes to the CSS to accommodate the larger icons when upgrading jquery-ui or jqgrid I have a separate CSS file where I have a bunch of overrides. As you can imagine this override file MUST be included after the jquery-ui stylesheet and the jqgrid style sheet. I put all my stylesheets into a bundle like so bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/dark-hive/allstyles").Include( "~/Content/dark-hive/jquery-ui-1.8.23.custom.css", "~/Content/ui.jqgrid.css", "~/Content/jquery-ui-fixes.css", "~/Content

I have two VS projects, one for the main website and one for a "static content" website where all the css, js, images, and other static content will be stored and accessed via a cookieless domain. So I have a BundleConfig.cs in my static site that creates all the bundles: public class BundleConfig { public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/styles").IncludeDirectory("~/app/styles", "*.css", true)); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/scripts").IncludeDirectory("~/app/src", "*.js", true)); } } And in the main site I have another
