JSMin with sourcemaps (grunt flavor)
- kyriakos 14y agoI hate it when github projects have no information of what the project does in readme.md. In this case I know what JSMin is but have no idea what sourcemaps - the project doesn't give me enough information to understand whats different than the normal JSMin.
- cleverjake 14y agoSince this is a tool that creates an output format, I think it is expected that if you find it you have a general idea of what it does. I don't believe there is an onus on the developer to include information about a general topic the tool is for (if they did, they would need tdo include what grunt is, what jsmin is, what sourcemaps are, why they are good, blah blah blah) That being said, sourcemaps are a new feature in web dev environments that allows you to debug the compressed javascript as though it is it original uncompressed file. It does this by taking a automatically generated file created by the javascript compressor that is referenced in the compiled javascript as a comment.
