Hi All,
We tried to implement js/css minification in our AEM setup. It worked for author and publisher but not working for dispatcher.
we used this - https://www.aemquickstart.in/2016/04/enable-js-and-css-minification.html link.
Hi @niks1!
Minification should be enabled on the AEM publish and potentially author instance. Once done - through the OSGI configuration Day CQ HTML Library Manager as outlined in the linked article - AEM delivers all ClientLibraries minified.
The Dispatcher has no active task in minification. What you need to do though is adding the adjusted URLs (including the ".min." selector) to the dispatcher filter rules to 1. allow the dispatcher to deliver the files and not block them and 2. potentially allow the dispatcher to cache the minified files.
You are requesting these files using the ".min." selector as mentioned in the referenced article, right? (See different URLs of ClientLibs [A] vs. [B] in that article)
[A] http://<host>:<port>/etc/clientlibs/granite/jquery/granite.js
[B] http://<host>:<port>/etc/clientlibs/granite/jquery/granite.min.js
While you're on it, I would also highly recommend to have a look at the Versioned ClientLibs feature of AEM ACS Commons. It will add a hash selector to the URL and ensure that you are always referencing the latest version of your ClientLibs. The Hash will change whenever the ClientLib changes, so you can cache existing ClientLibs files indefinitely on both, dispatcher and in the client/browser.
If this information is not what you were looking for, please provide some more details on what's "not working for dispatcher".
Hope that helps!
Hi Niks,
Once you set the minify option in HTML Manager Configuration. Try restarting the bundle Adobe Granite UI Clientlibs com.adobe.granite.ui.clientlibs by stop/start. Then access your web page by clearing cache in browser you should see js files in network tab getting appended with abc.min.js as shown below.
Sample We Retail URL after minification:
http://localhost:4502/etc.clientlibs/weretail/clientlibs/clientlib-base.min.js
@niks1 Already well explained by @markusbullaadobe . I never get chance to check the client minification on the dispatcher side. For the learning purpose I just tried the same thing on my local dispatcher and i added the minification properties on the AEM author as per the below snapshot and minification is also working on dispatcher as well.I do not see any minification issue on the dispatcher end.
You can also check whether you have cleared the cache or not.
Thank You.
