There are lot of Ruby libraries to minify JS. Instead of choosing a single implementation and forcing users of your library to be stuck with it, you can use MultiJs instead, which will simply choose the best available JS minifier. Here's how to use it:
require 'multi_js'
MultiJs.compile('(function(){var long_name=1}())') #=> '(function(){var a=1}())'
The use
method, which sets the MultiJs adapter, takes either a symbol or a
class (to allow for custom JS minifier) that responds to .min
at the class level.
MultiJs tries to have intelligent defaulting. That is, if you have any of the supported engines already loaded, it will utilize them before attempting to load any. It will load libraries in following order:
If no other library is available, MultiJs falls back to uglifier.
