Minify an Entire Directory While Keeping Element/Style/Script Relationships?

Question

Do any solutions currently exist that can minify an entire project directory? More importantly, do any solutions exist that can shorten classnames, id\'s, and keep them consiste

Answer 1

I use YUICompressor for minifying my css and js files, and a program called replace to do custom replacement of strings in html(removing comments, replacing local jquery lib with google api etc.)

Use a batch file to call the program on all the files with a specific extension in your project directory like so:

java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar -o temp\css\one-compressed.css temp\css\one.css
replace -quotes \q -srcdir temp\ -fname "*.php" -find "" -replace ""

and so on.

So far, I haven't been able to find any good tool for obfuscation. But these two alone make the task of minification and compression automated and much easier.
