Brackets JS Concat

Concatenates a list of files into one big file, useful when using only one javascript file for debugging and/or deployment. The extension needs you to create a 'js.concat' file in your project root. This file will set the extension with a few mandatory options:

• concatOnSave - if true, concatenates the list of files when saving one of them or when saving 'js.concat' itself. Otherwise you have to always right click 'js.concat' -> 'Concatenate files'
• output - the path (relative to project root, directories will be created if necessary) where the big concatenated file should be placed
• minify - if true, minifies the concatenated file
• -pathToFile; - the list of files (paths relative to project root) to concatenate

Here is an example of a 'js.concat' file:

// THIS file should be placed in project root

// if true, concatenates the list of files when saving one of them or when saving this file
concatOnSave = true;

// the output path of the concatenated file, directories will be created if necessary
output = build/build-v0.0.1.js;

// if true, minifies the concatenated file
minify = true;

// the list of files (paths relative to project root) to concatenate
-views/mainView.js;
-views/components/;
-model/*.js;
-main.js;

Right-click on 'js.concat' to manually concatenate the files in the list, useful if 'concatOnSave' is false.

Wildcard support

• if the path to file ends with '/' character, all the files in that folder will be concatenated
• if the path to file ends with '*' followed by a group of characters, only files ending in that group of characters will be concatenating (ex.: views/*.js matches all the files in views folder ending with '.js' i.e. all javascript files)
