How to minify multiple Javascript files in a folder with UglifyJS?

问题

Hello I'm using uglifyJs to minify my javascript files, it's working well with one file at a time, what I'm loking for is to minify all the javascript files present in a folder called JS into a folder called JSM, to be clear I have 2 files inside my JS folder called test1.js and test2.js and I want to run uglify against that folder and generate test1.min.js and test2.min.js inside the JSM folder, so is there a way to do this? a command like :

uglifyjs -c -m JS/*.js JSM/*.min.js

Or any idea that can help me.

Thanks.

I know it might seem like a huge step but I would really recommend using grunt. It's really simple once you get the hang of it.

Here's a crash course:

Install NodeJS
Install Grunt CLI (just enter this in console/terminal):
```
npm install -g grunt-cli
```

Create a simple package.json file in the root of your project:

{
  "name": "my-project-name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.2",
    "grunt-contrib-uglify": "~0.2.4",
    "grunt-contrib-watch" : "~0.5.3"
  }
}

Once you have that, just type: npm install to the console (in the root of your project). This will install the necessary grunt plugins/dependencies (from the package file above).

Now create a simple gruntfile.js in the root of your project (it's a kind of config for your project):

module.exports = function (grunt) {
    grunt.initConfig({

    // define source files and their destinations
    uglify: {
        files: { 
            src: 'js/*.js',  // source files mask
            dest: 'jsm/',    // destination folder
            expand: true,    // allow dynamic building
            flatten: true,   // remove all unnecessary nesting
            ext: '.min.js'   // replace .js to .min.js
        }
    },
    watch: {
        js:  { files: 'js/*.js', tasks: [ 'uglify' ] },
    }
});

// load plugins
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');

// register at least this one task
grunt.registerTask('default', [ 'uglify' ]);


};

Once that's done you just need to build it. Type in the console:
```
grunt
```
or - better - if you type execute the command below - grunt will monitor your source files for changes, and if you change any of them - it will build them automatically:
```
grunt watch --force
```

You can then add more plugins, like: css minification, css preprocessors (less, sass, stylus), jshint, etc.

If you're on Linux/Mac and have access to bash, you can use uglifyjs on multiple JS files like so:

rm *.min.js; for f in *.js; do short=${f%.js}; uglifyjs $f > $short.min.js; done

回答3:

Further to the above answer, I now have this set up in my .bashrc file:

alias minify='rm *.min.js; for f in *.js; do short=${f%.js}; uglifyjs $f > $short.min.js; done'

npm-only way:

run:
```
npm install uglifyjs-folder --save-dev
```
and afterwards add to your package.json something like:
```
"uglifyjs": "uglifyjs-folder js -eo jsm"
```
then run:
```
 npm run uglifyjs
```

Please note, if you'd need to generate to the same folder as the source files are (js), following should do the job:

run:

npm install del-cli uglifyjs-folder --save-dev

and afterwards add to your package.json something like:

"uglifyjs": "del js/*.min.js; uglifyjs-folder js -eo js"

then run:
```
 npm run uglifyjs
```

You can use this configuration in gruntfile.js:

uglify: {
        all: {
            files: [{
                expand: true,
                cwd: '<path to js folder>',
                src: ['**/*.js', '!*.min.js'],
                dest: '<path to js folder>',
                ext: '.js'
            }]
        }
    }

make a bat file with start at each row beginning

start uglifyjs app\main.js -mt sort -c -e -o app\main.ug.js
start uglifyjs app\lib.js -mt sort -c -e -r myfunctionname -o app\lib.ug.js
start uglifyjs app\controllers\bbbCtrl.js -mt sort -c  -o     app\controllers\bbbCtrl.ug.js
start uglifyjs app\controllers\aaaCtrl.js -mt sort -c -e -o app\controllers\aaaCtrl.ug.js
