NAME

       JavaScript::Packer - Perl version of Dean Edwards' Packer.js

VERSION

       Version 1.006003

DESCRIPTION

       A JavaScript Compressor

       This module is an adaptation of Dean Edwards' Packer.js.

       Additional information: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/

SYNOPSIS

	   use JavaScript::Packer;

	   my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

	   $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts );

       To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

	   my $ret = $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts );

       For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

	   JavaScript::Packer::minify( $javascript, $opts );

       The first argument must be a scalarref of javascript-code.

       Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are:

       compress
	   Defines compression level. Possible values are 'clean', 'shrink', 'obfuscate' and 'best'.  Default value is 'clean'.  'best' uses
	   'shrink' or 'obfuscate' depending on which result is shorter. This is recommended because especially when compressing short scripts the
	   result will exceed the input if compression level is 'obfuscate'.

       copyright
	   You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script.

       remove_copyright
	   If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment
	   that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright comment will be overwritten by a
	   copyright notice defined with the copyright option.

       no_compress_comment
	   If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a JavaScript comment that prevents the input being packed or defines a compression
	   level.

	       /* JavaScript::Packer _no_compress_ */
	       /* JavaScript::Packer shrink */

EXAMPLES

       Example 1
	   Common usage.

	       #!/usr/bin/perl

	       use strict;
	       use warnings;

	       use JavaScript::Packer;

	       my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

	       open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' );
	       open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' );

	       my $js = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> );

	       $packer->minify( $js, { compress => 'best' } );

	       print COMPRESSED $js;
	       close(UNCOMPRESSED);
	       close(COMPRESSED);

       Example 2
	   A scalar is requested by the context. The input will remain unchanged.

	       #!/usr/bin/perl

	       use strict;
	       use warnings;

	       use JavaScript::Packer;

	       my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init();

	       open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' );
	       open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' );

	       my $uncompressed = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> );

	       my $compressed = $packer->minify( $uncompressed, { compress => 'best' } );

	       print COMPRESSED $compressed;
	       close(UNCOMPRESSED);
	       close(COMPRESSED);
