# Connect-uglify-js

Connect-uglify-js is middleware for

[connect](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/) that uses

[uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS) to compress and mangle

your JavaScript.

This middleware uses a memory caching strategy by default, which means

that once a JavaScript file has been uglified, the result is stored into

the cache, and the life of the cache is the life of the node instance.

## Installation

* Install connect-uglify-js with NPM

        npm install connect-uglify-js

## Getting Started: Express server demo

```javascript

var express = require("express")

  , uglify = require("connect-uglify-js")

  , app = module.exports = express.createServer();

app.configure(function(){

  app.set("views", __dirname + "/views");

  app.set("view engine", "jade");

  app.use(express.bodyParser());

  app.use(express.methodOverride());

  app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));

  app.use("/assets",uglify.middleware(__dirname + "/public/javascripts"));

  app.use(app.router);

});

app.configure("development", function(){

  app.use(express.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack: true })); 

});

app.configure("production", function(){

  app.use(express.errorHandler()); 

});

app.get("/", function(request,response){response.render("index",{});});

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

console.log("Express server listening on port %d in %s mode", app.address().port, app.settings.env);

```

Above we have added the middleware to our application mounted under

`/assets`. It is recommended to pick a mount point, otherwise the

middleware will conflict with the serving of static files.

To complete the example, we can write our HTML to request the uglified

JavaScript as follows, assuming `index.js` exists in

`__dirname/public/javascripts`.

```jade

!!! 5

head

  meta(charset="utf-8")

  title Demo

body

  h1 Demo

  script(src="/assets/index.js")

```
