Javascript Bundling on visual studio 2015

Question

System.Web.Optimization on Visual Studio 2013 was giving us Bundling on javascript files and the best part of that was allowing us to go with indiv

Answer 1

[Edit] BundlerMinifier Extension can do Bundling and minification as a Visual Studio Extension it has limited capabilities compare to GULP, GRUNT or My favorite WebPack but if you want an easy solution https://github.com/madskristensen/BundlerMinifier is the one

long story short like ecm_dev said old style optimization bundling will not be available this is the right answer, but it wasn't helping me to solve my bundling and minification problem and last a few months it pushed me to find replacements which were actually there Bower, Gulp, Grunt which Microsoft is pushing us to use

I picked the Bower as a package manager Bower is the replacement for nuget on client files (css,js,less etc..) and Gulp as a build task op

gulp-bower Help you to pull Bower packages

main-bower-files Extract Bower files in right locations

gulp-concat bundles your css or js files (any file)

gulp-uglify minify your js files

gulp-less compile your less files

gulp-cssmin minify your css files

gulp-inject inject your css and javascript tags into your .html or .cshtml

Gulp is actually more capable than System.Web.Optimization + Web Essential combine but has lot to learn this may not the answer you are looking for (when I first asked this question a little longer a month ago it definitely wasn't mine)

but if you are looking for this question, you have the same problem I had for
