cool!

[bmatusiak]

i few more tweaks and we can add this to a PR 😄

I'd probably accept a builder in ./_tools/bundler/bundler.js as a pr. But if you do decide to pr, please make sure the coding standards are applied, and use an npm like cli so it's behavior can be easily controlled via commandline arguments. Putting it in a subdir also allows having a dedicated package.json to declare it's dependencies.

sounds good! my thoughts exactly...
coding standards errors show up in my IDE so thats not a problem,

i do need to add a proper header.

but when you say npm like cli can you give me a better idea on how you want it because theres about 2 or 3 different ways it can be done

ex

npm install
bundler --out PHPJS.js

let me know if this is what you want above

[bmatusiak]

also if you can give me a short list of arguments you want to use that would be good too

I used cli here and kinda liked it, could be worth checking out for argument parsing, progress animations, etc. It's got a lot of cool cli stuff built in.

as for the options, i noticed you guys already made it optional to minify, and to include different categories. so maybe. it would also be cool if you can choose export format.

 --include array/*
 --include var/is_array
 --exclude array/array_uintersect_uassoc
 --minify
 --format commonjs | globalscope | object
 --output <filename> | - for STDOUT 

I realise it's much, but just consider it as ideas you can use.

One other thing to consider that just popped into my head. Maybe grunt can do the heavy lifting here. It seems to be the bundler of choice nowadays, and I would not be surprised if we can just put this in one Gruntfile.js..

++1

// declare dependencies with this format: [package,package.name]
--include [array,datetime,...]
--exclude [array,var.is_array,var.is_object]

[bmatusiak]

i was going to use var argv = require('optimist').argv; for argument parsing

--out    =    argv.out;

or

-o     =    argv.o;

and then ill resubmit a updated gist..

and show you what i come up with

[liverbool]

ok, up to you and thanks for make my life easy.
👍

Hey, we support npm now through https://npmjs.org/phpjs.

You can build your own via

node bin/phpjs.js --action buildnpm --output build/npm.js
# or
node bin/phpjs.js --action buildnpm --output build/php_string.js --category strings
