cdn

bosco cdn
bosco cdn minify

This command will run the bundling and minification process and then serve all of the static assets locally, which defaults to http://localhost:7334/. It will watch the assets specified in the bosco-service.json file and reload if they change.

It is expected that you leave this command running while doing development on services, as if you are also using Compoxure and bundle-version then it provides the versioned HTML fragments that allow the static assets to be included in other pages.

Service Configuration Requirements

For this command to work you must have configured the bosco-service.json file in the base of the micro services who would like to take part in the asset minification process.

An example bosco-service.json file is shown below for a simple service that doesn't have its own build script:

{
    "tags":["review"],
    "assets": {
        "basePath": "/src/public",
        "js": {
            "bottom": [
                "js/report-review.js",
                "js/lib/lean-modal.min.js",
                "js/moderate-review.js"
            ]
        },
        "css": {
            "top": [
                "css/reviews.sass"
            ]
        }
    }
}

For a project that has it's own build step, you can have Bosco wrap around it:

{
    "build":{
        "command":"gulp build",
        "watch":{
            "command":"gulp build --watch",
            "ready":"Finished 'build'"
        }
    },
    "assets": {
        "basePath":"/dist",
         "js": {
            "upload": [
                "js/tsl-uploader.js"
            ]
        },
        "css": {
             "upload": [
                "css/tsl-uploader.css"
            ]
        },
        "images": {
            "upload" :[
                "img"
            ]
        }
    }
}
