What is the Google Closure Compiler?

From Google:

The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is a true compiler for JavaScript. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls.

Why does this repository exist?

If you don't want to commit the big (~6mb) compiler jar-file into your repository and want to install it via composer then this package is for you. It's the latest compiled jar-binary of the Google Closure Compiler which can be easily installed via Composer and added into your project on the fly.

I didn't change anything in the binary. All copyrights belong to Google.

Installation

composer require stalinko/google-closure-compiler

Usage

Read the Google Docs about how to use it.

Here is just a simple example:

java -jar vendor/stalinko/google-closure-compiler/compiler.jar --js hello.js --js_output_file hello-compiled.js

License

This library contains the Closure Compiler from Google. The file compiler.jar is the result of unpacking the Google-supplied Zip file.
