Bundling and Minification help

[Shahar]

Hi

 

I wish to use only some of the js script and not the entire kendo.all.min.js

Any tips on how to bundle and minify them? as it seems I fail to do it.

I'm trying to do this using the visual studio bundle and minify extension.

 

Thanks

Managed to do it

It was the order of the JS files that broke it

I too am mystified by bundling and mimification.  It seems like like voodoo or some other mystical ancient art not to be made available to lesser deities or mere mortals.  I have yet to see a definitive "do x, y, and z".  I see lots of "use this magical do all" code whereas what I want to know is why should I or why should I not include something.

Hi David,

Basically, the Kendo library offers two utilities that would automatically create a custom JavaScript bundle, based on the widgets and framework features used in your specific application:

- The Custom download builder tool, where you could bundle and download the required script; and

- The Gulp script, that would allow you to locally build your own script module;

If you, instead, would like to reference in your project directly the source scripts, you should consult the Script files lists available in our Documentation. The order in which the individual scripts are listed in the documentation is the order in which they have to be loaded in the project. Keep in mind that you should load each script only once. For example, if you load two different widgets requiring the kendo.core.js you should reference it only once, when you include the scripts for the first widget.

I'll ask for the company's license and use the tool

Thanks :)
