JavaScript preprocessor

Minimal preprocessing with /*>*/

Usage

jspp input > output

Example

main.js /*> script.js */ var style = "/*> css/style.css */";	css/style.css html, body {margin:0; padding:0} /*> http://nv.github.com/js-preprocessor/example/css/style-child.css */ .my-style {background: #fffacc}	css/style-child.css .i-am-child {}
script.js var my_script;

$ jspp example/main.js
var my_script;

var style = "html, body {margin:0; padding:0}\
.i-am-child {}\
.my-style {background: #fffacc}"

Installation

Ruby gem

$ gem install jspp

Why reinvent the wheel?

Sprockets can't include non-JS files. JS preprocessor can.

Juicer can include one JS file to another via @depend statement, but can't include CSS file to JS as multiline string. JS preprocessor can do it via "/*> some_file */".
