Grunt task for JSMin with sourcemap

Fork of grunt-jsmin-sourcemap

Synopsis

Grunt is a node.js based CLI build tool.

JSMin is a JavaScript minifier that removes whitespace and comments.

Source maps enables developers to view and interact with minified JavaScript as if it were unminified (providing useful line errors and easier debugging).

My point is that *.dev.js file enables developers to add original scripts dynamically in dev mode. That's better than sourcemaps in a few ways.

Documentation

grunt.initConfig({
'jsmin-sourcemap': {
		all: {
			src: ['js/script1.js', 'js/script2.js', 'js/lib/library1.js'],
			dest: 'target-script.js',
			destMap: 'target-script.min.js.map',
			destScript: 'target-script.dev.js'
		}
	}
})

target-script.dev.js :

<script src='js/script1.js'></script>
<script src='js/script2.js'></script>
<script src='js/library1.js'></script>

When you combine all three of these, you get a grunt plugin that is your new best debugging friend.
