Well, I'm answering part of my own question here. The js files get loaded up only once when the user first comes to the page. After that the files are cached in the DOM for the entire session. So we are fine with that. However, I'm still curious if Presto has any tools to minify/obfuscate?
Hi dtillery,
Since Presto is a enterprise mashup platform, it does not provide tools for javascript minification/ofuscation. However, there are plenty of apps out there that gets the job done. My favorite is JSMIN, created by Douglas Crockford: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jsmin.html
You can also try Yahoo YUI Compressor:http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/
And also the newest player in the game, Google Closure: http://code.google.com/closure/
Cheers,
I'm investigating ways to improve performance with loading our mashlets. Using the Firebug net tool I see separate GET requests for each mashlet js file. I've seen strategies where all js can be compressed into a single file, thus only one request is made. Does Presto have something that we can leverage to help out? Additionally does Presto have any tools to minify/obfuscate?
Thanks!
