Install Thor Tasks

thor install http://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" yui = Yui.new "./path/to/javascripts/application.js" yui = Yui.new "./path/to/javascripts/.my.cool.glob..js"

to compress

yui.minify Yui.compress_string("alert('hello world');")

=> 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
