Examples

Here is an example with generated HTML output file

HTML Input

<html>
  <head>
    <title>My awesome page !</title>
 
    <script src="//cdn.example.com/jquery.min.js" />
    <script src="//cdn.example.com/jquery-plugin.min.js" />
  </head>
  <body>
 
    <!-- let's imagine we have an awesome website here -->
 
    <script>
      var globalVariable = 'registered here';
 
      (function() {
        var contextedVariable = 'registered here';
      })();
    </script> 
 
    <script src="/assets/javascript/application.js" />
  </body>
</html>

HTML Output

<html>
  <head>
    <title>My awesome page !</title>
  </head>
  <body>
 
    <!-- let's imagine we have an awesome website here -->
 
    <script src="/assets/javascript/e6791aa54bf763f10700a88b38d578282663be53.min.js" />
  </body>
</html>

Here we can see, all script tags are packed/uglified in one file,
which is included and writed on filesystem

Exclude script element from packing

  </head>
  <body>
 
    <!-- let's imagine we have an awesome website here -->
 
    <script data-packer="exclude">
      var globalVariable = 'registered here';
 
      (function() {
        var contextedVariable = 'registered here';
      })();
