ColdFusion Bundler & Minification

I am looking for a package / minifier to use on my ColdFusion site. I searched for over an hour and found only the right plugin for cfWheels. Unfortunately, we are tied to framework-one at this stage, so we cannot use this plugin.

Can anyone recommend a tool to link and minimize our js / css with ColdFusion FW1?

I am thinking of “borrowing” from the asp.net System.Web.Optimization bundler, but it just seems superfluous to me.

Thanks!

We recently made this decision. In the end, we decided to use Gulp, which is the Javascript-based runner that you use in development, and my recommendation is that you do the same. Gulp has a huge community and user base and many plugins. It can view files for changes as they are developed and automatically re-concatenate, minimize (and about 1000 other things - see http://gulpjs.com/plugins/ ).

Using the Gulp plugin named gulp -rev, files are automatically renamed, for example file-k34jzkl3.css, to override browser caches when changes are made. Using another Gulp plugin, gulp -manifest, we automatically create a JSON file that maps the original CSS file to the cached name (for example, "file.css": "file-k34jzkl3.css"), and then we have a simple CFC that translates these names to the right place in our HTML. Here's what our explicit JSON file looks like:

{ "baseline.css": "/global/baseline-82bcd2ab92.css", "user.css": "/global/user-0d1d32170c.css" }

And then our CFML markup looks like this:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="#application.asset.getAsset("baseline.css")#">

What generates HTML output, for example:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/global/baseline-82bcd2ab92.css">

I created a repo with the code https://github.com/ghidinelli/assets.cfc
