Simple build script for bookmarklets.

Simple build script for bookmarklets.

It makes few things:

• minifies your code (using uglify-js)
• wraps your code in (function(){}()) if it's not wrapped yet
• adds javascript: prefix
• preforms encodeURI to prevent collisions with double-quotes in A href
• optionally, generates HTML file with A element to test your bookmarklet

Install: npm install bookbu or just clone it from github.

Usage: bookbu.js <filename> [html]

To just parse the code and get result in the console: bookbu.js test.js

To generate html file in which you'll get a link with your bookmarklet: bookbu.js test.js html

Example: magic-missile:~/projects/test $ cat test.js function addTwoValues(a,b) { return a + b; };

var myFancyObject = {
    x: 3,
    y: 5
};

addTwoValues(myFancyObject.x, myFancyObject.y);
magic-missile:~/projects/test $ bookbu.js test.js
javascript:(function()%7Bfunction%20a(a,b)%7Breturn%20a+b%7Dvar%20b=%7Bx:3,y:5%7D;a(b.x,b.y)%7D())
magic-missile:~/projects/test $

You may of course pipe this however you want, so bookbu test.js | pbcopy will copy the code of generated bookmarklet to your clipboard.

Dependencies: uglify-js
