That makes it easier than generating the externs files myself. By the way, the SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS argument for the closure compiler might be an acceptable middle ground for minification. When I tried it, I was able to load up my CreateJS demo and it actually rendered everything. However, I noticed that it wasn't responding correctly to touch events, so that's why I fell back to WHITESPACE_ONLY. At the time, I couldn't investigate further, but maybe now I can figure out what's going on. SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS should minify a lot more than WHITESPACE_ONLY, and it seems to work without externs.
Since Harbs mentioned Angular being minfied so well, it looks like they use closure compiler with SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS for most of their codebase (one particular file uses ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS, for some reason): https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/d077966ff1ac18262f4615ff1a533db24d4432a7/lib/grunt/utils.js#L188 - Josh On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 10:45 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > > On 10/21/15, 10:16 AM, "Josh Tynjala" <joshtynj...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >The cross-compiler that generates ActionScript from TypeScript > >definitions? > >Yeah, I could probably do that.
