How to concatenate and minify JS files - ldetomi - 02-02-2017
Hi folks,
I'm sorry if I'm asking a trivial question but I'm not an expert...
I have many JS files into my website that must be loaded into a single page. I know that generally is possible to concatenate and minify all files to make a single call to webserver but my question is:
Is possible to concatenate and minify JS files in CodeIgniter or more generally, how can I achieve this result? For more informations I have a webserver in which is not present Node.JS.
One alternative that I know is concatenate files with a 3rd party tool and then add a custom option in CI config to decide if files must be loaded one by one or the single merged but it would be a complete custom (and manually) procedure...

You can simply concatenate minified js strings in PHP and save them to js file.

Haven't updated it for quite some time but no one complained yet. The usage instruction can be found here: https://github.com/avenirer/Assetor/blob/master/USAGE.md
