Install Thor Tasks

thor install github.com/coryodaniel/ruby-yui/raw/master/task.thor

Usage

# this also takes a options hash, defaults are stated below yui = Yui.new “./path/to/javascripts” yui = Yui.new “./path/to/javascripts”, :out_path => “./public/javascripts”

# to compress yui.minify # => true|false if 100% of files where minified

# to compress & bundle yui.bundle # => path to bundle OR nil if failed to bundle

Quick Usage

# This does the same thing as instantiating a Yui object and calling minify # it also takes the same params hash

Yui.compress “./test/data/javascripts” # => true|false
