isc

[ISC] Inline Source Composer

Compose a javascript application into one distributable file by using annotations in your code.

// main.js
(function () {
    var some_code_here;    
    /**
     * Include foo.js here.
     * @include("src/foo.js")
     * @include("src/bar.js")
     */
     console.log('And some more here...');
}());

// src/foo.js
var string = 'This is foo.js';

// src/bar.js
var bar = string.toUpperCase();

When compiled, the code looks like this:

(function () {
    var some_code_here;    
    var string = 'This is foo.js';
    var bar = string.toUpperCase();
    console.log('And some more here...');
}());

Compile the code using the command-line app:

isc <input-file> <output-file> --verbose --minify

Or use node.js:

require('./src/isc.js')({
    input   : 'in.js',  // Input file
    output  : 'out.js', // Output file
    verbose : true,     // Display verbose output?
    minify  : true      // Minify source? (only works if 'output' is also specified
});

Note; If no output file is specified, the compiled source is printed instead. Minifying the source will not work in this case. Minified source is exported as .min.js. Taking the example above, the file out.min.js would be generated.
