asp.net-optimization

I have a site that dynamically generates Javascript. The generated code describes type-metadata and some server-side constants so that the clients can easily consume the server's services - so it's very cacheable. The generated Javascript is served by an ASP.NET MVC controller; so it has a Uri; say ~/MyGeneratedJs . I'd like to include this Javascript in a Javascript bundle with other static Javascript files (e.g. jQuery etc): so just like static files I want it to be referenced separately in debug mode and in minified form bundled with the other files in non-debug mode. How can I include

I am trying to concat lots of .js files into a single one using Microsoft Web Optimization framework . Everything works, but within those files I have several that are already minified & uglified and there is not need to process them again. For example I have recaptcha_ajax.js file and it causes following errors when it's appended: /* Minification failed. Returning unminified contents. (715,29-36): run-time error JS1019: Can't have 'break' outside of loop: break t (714,293-300): run-time error JS1019: Can't have 'break' outside of loop: break t (678,210-217): run-time error JS1019: Can't have

I use a jQuery library for Google Maps, and it depends on the Google scripts to be loaded first. I'd like to be able to include both in the bundle as such: bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("myfoobundle").Include( "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places", "~/scripts/jquery.fooplugin-{version}.js" )); This doesn't seem to work (throws an exception complaining about the first string). And one may say that this shouldn't work because that absolute URL is not meant to be minified/bundled. But the current approach is a hassle, as I need to ensure that the dependencies are

With ASP.NET Bundling with a ScriptBundle function StartController($scope, $location, $rootScope) {} is transformed to function StartController(n,t,i) {} However, as I am using AngularJs, for dependency injection to still work, the argument names must not be changed when minified. How can I ensure $scope, $location and $rootScope keep these names with the minification through a ScriptBundle, but allow argument renaming in other places? This isn't something you can change on the built in bundle types, as we currently don't expose any knobs that you can tweak on the underlying transform classes.

If you find a new way to solve this, please document in your answer I am trying to add System.Web.Optimization to my ASP.NET Web Forms solution. I added Microsoft ASP.NET Web Optimization Framework through NuGet Packages. It added Microsoft.Web.Infrastracture and WebGrease (1.5.2) to the references.

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.
