For CSS files I have created a file watcher like described in this manual. Also for JS files, see manual, which both uses the YUI Compressor
But I didn't find how to add file watchers, which minify html files (e.g. removing comments, ..). How can I automatically minify html files with PhpStorm?
I'd suggest looking at HTMLMinifier - it has CLI and thus can be set up as a file watcher, also it can be configured as Grunt task or Gulp task and executed using Grant/Gulp console

I have a style.sass file that #uses several _*.sass partials. That was all working fine. Now I added a _*.scss file (it just contains a map, so I wanted it to be multiline), but editing that file does not trigger a rebuild of the style.sass file. I tried adding a SCSS file watcher too, since I'm not sure how IntelliJ decides what to watch, but that didn't help.
It works fine using Dart-SASS's --watch argument. How do I make IntelliJ do the same?
(Although it's a Play project, I'm using IntelliJ's file watchers because I wanted to be able to use #use, so I needed Dart SASS.)
The watcher can only listen to changes in files of same type (either SASS or SCSS), depending on the watcher settings, so you can't make the watcher work for both .scss and .sass files at the same time unless you use a custom scope with both .sass and .scss files included and set File Type: to Any:
I am separate folders for css and JS in my web project and I would like to minify all the files google closure and I have installed node and successfully minified single file. My query is how to perform this operation on multiple files in a folder.
I have performed with documentation provided with npm
npx google-closure-compiler --js=my_program.js --js_output_file=out.js
Let me know how to perform for multiple files.
Closure Compiler doesn't operate on CSS files.
I use lessc 2.7.3. I generate css files via a makefile and use following paths
the makefile is in themes/bodensee
the css is generated in themes/bodensee/css
the less files are in themes/bodensee/less
the maps are in the same folder as the css files.
My problem is that css files misses the themes/bodensee path, so it raises a file not found on css.map files.
lessc -s less/wlb.less --clean-css="--s0 --advanced" --source-map-rootpath=themes/bodensee/ --source-map="css/wlb.css.map" css/wlb.css
The CSS file now contains `sourceMappingURL=css/wlb.css.map``The rootpath does not have any effect.
I also tried a fantasy rootpath and searched for it in the file - it does not appear anywhere. But the option is correct. When I try to missspell the option, LESS drops an error.
What am I missing?
Description of the --source-map-rootpath option from here
Specifies a rootpath that should be prepended to each of the less file paths inside the sourcemap and also to the path to the map file specified in your output css.
Because the basepath defaults to the directory of the input less file, the rootpath defaults to the path from the sourcemap output file to the base directory of the input less file.
Use this option if for instance you have a css file generated in the root on your web server but have your source less/css/map files in a different folder. So for the option above you might have
The problem was indeed related to the Clean-CSS plugin.
I now call
lessc --source-map --clean-css="--s0 --advanced" -s less/wlb.less css/wlb.css which is working.
There is a standalone clean-css program, but that does not generate sources for the Less files. It's not clear if the lessc plugin and the standalone tool are the same or different implementations but both use node.
The standalone cleancss tool removes the source map URL generated by lessc be default (did not play around with the dozens of options).
These Node tools develop very fast and manual/tutorials often are outdated. That's why my make file stopped working. Developers of that tools should really consider not to touch working parameters or features and to keep their code compatible.
I need to develop a plugin for Moodle, and i need to have some js and css files in plugin. But i have the next problem - how to work with them from installed plugin? Of course, i can hardcode their path via to moodle structure, but it's a very dirty and bad way. Also, i know that i can place all js and css code inline, but i think that it's a bad decision too. Is there a built-in way to serve assets from plugin? I tried to find it in documentations, but found nothing.
Thanks
I assume you want to know how to include CSS and JS files into your plugin.
You can include a JS file via the command:
$PAGE->requires->js( /relative/path/your_script.js');
You can then call a JS function once the page has been downloaded with the command:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call ( your_JS_function_name, array_of_parameters_here, bool: on DOM ready);
For example:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call('init', array($USER->lang), true);
Be sure to make the $PAGE available with global $PAGE;, first.
Your CSS file can be named styles.css and put into the root folder of your plugin. The file will be automatically read by the system and included. It will take precedence over (will overwrite the settings of) the system CSS files. After that you will have to reload the theme caches.
I'm trying to create a dojo build file. What do I need to add in the profile.js file to include all the .css files inside the dojo build.js file. I'm getting dijit.js and other .js files, but the dependent .css files are not getting built into the build.js file
I'm using dojo 1.8
It doesn't really make sense to ask to combine JS and CSS into a single file. JavaScript is JavaScript; CSS is CSS.
That said, you should be able to get down to as little as one CSS request by specifying cssOptimize: 'comments' in your build profile, which will strip comments from CSS files within packages the build processes, and flatten imports. As a result, each Dijit theme's main CSS file (e.g. themes/claro/claro.css) will then require only one request, rather than requests for each component.
