I just added this to the api viewer output as well, with even better results:
api/script/apidata.js: 91.1% -- replaced with api/script/apidata.js.gz
api/script/apiviewer.js: 80.4% -- replaced with api/script/apiviewer.js.
gz
Our api viewer data is 115 KB, and the script is 88 KB.
For 0.6.4, for build and api, add this to the end of the makefile. Watch
linewrap in the cp, gzip and mv commands:
build:
@echo
@echo " GZIP BUILD SCRIPT"
@echo
"----------------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " * Create copy"
cp build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js
build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).copy
@echo " * gzip script"
gzip --verbose --best --force build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js
@echo " * Rename copy to create <script>.js and <script>.js.gz"
mv build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).copy
build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js
api:
@echo
@echo " GZIP API SCRIPT AND DATA"
@echo
"-------------------------------------------------------------------"
cp api/script/apidata.js api/script/apidata.copy
gzip --verbose --best --force api/script/apidata.js
mv api/script/apidata.copy api/script/apidata.js
cp api/script/apiviewer.js api/script/apiviewer.copy
gzip --verbose --best --force api/script/apiviewer.js
mv api/script/apiviewer.copy api/script/apiviewer.js
