Feature #52843
closedResourceCompressor, JS: Create source-maps for merged files
0%
Description
In recent browsers (Chrome, Firefox) with source-maps it's possible to still use merged (and/or minified) files but keep them debugable.
Currently TYPO3 CMS does not ship a minification-tool. But using that on merged files would help debugging as well.
Sidenote: jQuery ships map-files for their minified sources since 1.9rc1.

Yes. it would be nice, but it's CMS after all, not a development platform for frontend libraries. Compresssing and concatenating is a nice feature but everything more sophisticated is just out of scope for TYPO3, and other tools just do a way better job in doing so (grunt etc) when building your own platform.
If somebody needs to debug JS/CSS, the integrator can just turn off JS concatenation and debug right away.
