Hey Vasim,

You can switch and use alternative js minification tools.

gulp[1] or grunt[2] can be used to minify your js as part of maven build[3,4,5], this would give you and your devs more flexibility and have smaller size minified js files.

[2] http://gruntjs.com/

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

I presume that you are using Eclipse,

Use any external tool to convert to minify your existing js, once done copy and paste the content of js file under /etc/design/js-file-path and take the build

I have 100 js files. I tried by turning minify to ON Day CQ HTML Library Manager configuration doing basic level minification. I want more minification. Is there any way?

Two questions:

1. Which AEM Version you are referring?

2. Can you tell  what level of minification currently you have and wht more you are expecting?

HI

Just to add what Peter has said, A Grunt plugin to read AEM clientlibs js.txt and css.txt files to JSON for use with other grunt plugins. e.g. concat, less compilation, jslint, jasmine unit tests.

Reference links :-

Link:- https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-aem-clientlibs

Link:- http://adapt.to/2015/en/schedule/integrate-modern-frond-end-development-with-aem-sling.html (Presentation in the end)

Link:- http://www.slideshare.net/ZoranNikolovski/making-maven-and-grunt-play-nice

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards
