I am using BundleTransformer to minify css
and js
resources
<yui>
<css compressionType="Standard" removeComments="true" lineBreakPosition="-1" />
<js compressionType="Standard" obfuscateJavascript="true" preserveAllSemicolons="false" disableOptimizations="false" ignoreEval="false" severity="0" lineBreakPosition="-1" encoding="UTF8" threadCulture="en-us" />
</yui>
As you can see for css
it is possible to specify removeComments="true"
But in js
there is no such option.
I red that YUI js compressor removes comments by default. Yes it is kind of removes, but it is still leave comments like that:
/* NUGET: BEGIN LICENSE TEXT
*
*Bla bla bla
*
* NUGET: END LICENSE TEXT */
/*!
* Bla
* Licensed under http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
*/
Looks like there is no way to force YIU js minifier to remove comments.
https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor :
C-style comments starting with /*! are preserved. This is useful with comments containing copyright/license information
Is there anything I can do by using BundleTransformer to completely remove all kind of comments in bundled minified output files? Google page speed strongly recommended me to do that.
YUI compressor does not support removing of important comments.
I recommend you to install BundleTransformer.MicrosoftAjax package. Thereafter register MicrosoftAjaxCssMinifier
and MicrosoftAjaxJsMinifier
as default minifiers, and add to the Web.config file the following configuration settings:
<configuration>
…
<bundleTransformer xmlns="http://tempuri.org/BundleTransformer.Configuration.xsd">
…
<microsoftAjax>
<css commentMode="None" />
<js preserveImportantComments="false" />
</microsoftAjax>
…
</bundleTransformer>
…
</configuration>
