Usage

The Bundler & Minifier consists can be used in a variety of ways:

• An extension for Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code integration
• A command line interface (.NET Core)
• ASP.NET helpers

Visual Studio

For Visual Studio 2015 users it is highly recommended to use the free Bundler & Minifier extension.

For more info on the Visual Studio extension, check out the readme page.

Visual Studio Code

To use this tool in Visual Studio Code, you first need to install it in project.json. See Command Line Interface for details.

When installation in project.json is done, you are ready to setup the tasks.

Setup tasks in tasks.json

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "dotnet",
    "options": {
        // Make sure this points to the directory containing project.json
        "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/src/bundlertest"
    },
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "showOutput": "always",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "build",
            "isBuildCommand": true
        },
        {
            "taskName": "bundle"
        },
        {
            "taskName": "clean",
            "args": [ "bundle", "clean" ],
            "suppressTaskName": true
        },
        {
            "taskName": "watch",
            "args": [ "bundle", "watch" ],
            "suppressTaskName": true,
            "isWatching": true
        }
    ]
}

After configuring tasks.json you can now invoke the command bar (F1) and access the taks.

Running the bundle task will produce output like this:

Running with configuration from c:\Users\name\Projects\MyApp\src\MyApp\bundleconfig.json

Processing wwwroot/js/site.min.js
