Closure Compiler Linter

Closure Compiler is a JavaScript optimizing compiler. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls. It is used in many of Google's JavaScript apps, including Gmail, Google Web Search, Google Maps, and Google Docs. This binary checks for style issues such as incorrect or missing JSDoc usage, and missing goog.require() statements. It does not do more advanced checks such as typechecking.

Google Closure Compiler

Build Status Open Source Helpers Contributor Covenant

The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is a true compiler for JavaScript. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls.

Getting Started

  • Pre-compiled releases of the compiler are available via:
    • Maven
    • NPM - includes java, native and javascript versions.
  • See the Google Developers Site for documentation including instructions for running the compiler from the command line.

Options for Getting Help

  1. Post in the Closure Compiler Discuss Group.
  2. Ask a question on Stack Overflow.
  3. Consult the FAQ.

Building it Yourself

Note: The Closure Compiler requires Java 8 or higher.

Using Bazel

Building using bazel requires git (to download dependencies).

On Linux, all other required tools should be available in a standard distribution.

On Windows, building closure-compiler additionally requires MSYS2, and a zip command-line executable (compatible with the one in linux).

  1. Install Bazelisk.

  2. On the command line, at the root of this project, run

    bazelisk build //:compiler_unshaded_deploy.jar

    This will produce a JAR called bazel-bin/compiler_unshaded_deploy.jar. You can run this JAR as per the Running section of this Readme.

    If you want to integrate the compiler into a larger Java program, depend on //:compiler_shaded_deploy.jar instead.

Using an IDE

See Bazel IDE Integrations

Running

On the command line, at the root of this project, type

bazel-bin/compiler_unshaded_deploy.jar

This starts the compiler in interactive mode. Type

var x = 17 + 25;

then hit "Enter", then hit "Ctrl-Z" (on Windows) or "Ctrl-D" (on Mac or Linux) and "Enter" again. The Compiler will respond:

var x=42;

The Closure Compiler has many options for reading input from a file, writing output to a file, checking your code, and running optimizations. To learn more, type

java -jar compiler.jar --help

More detailed information about running the Closure Compiler is available in the documentation.

Run using Eclipse

  1. Open the class src/com/google/javascript/jscomp/CommandLineRunner.java or create your own extended version of the class.
  2. Run the class in Eclipse.
  3. See the instructions above on how to use the interactive mode - but beware of the bug regarding passing "End of Transmission" in the Eclipse console.

Compiling Multiple Scripts

If you have multiple scripts, you should compile them all together with one compile command.

java -jar compiler.jar --js_output_file=out.js in1.js in2.js in3.js ...

You can also use minimatch-style globs.

# Recursively include all js files in subdirs
java -jar compiler.jar --js_output_file=out.js 'src/**.js'

# Recursively include all js files in subdirs, excluding test files.
# Use single-quotes, so that bash doesn't try to expand the '!'
java -jar compiler.jar --js_output_file=out.js 'src/**.js' '!**_test.js'

The Closure Compiler will concatenate the files in the order they're passed at the command line.

If you're using globs or many files, you may start to run into problems with managing dependencies between scripts. In this case, you should use the Closure Library. It contains functions for enforcing dependencies between scripts, and Closure Compiler will re-order the inputs automatically.

How to Contribute

Contributor code of conduct

However you choose to contribute, please abide by our code of conduct to keep our community a healty and welcoming place.

Reporting a bug

  1. First make sure that it is really a bug and not simply the way that Closure Compiler works (especially true for ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS).
  2. If you still think you have found a bug, make sure someone hasn't already reported it. See the list of known issues.
  3. If it hasn't been reported yet, post a new issue. Make sure to add enough detail so that the bug can be recreated. The smaller the reproduction code, the better.

Suggesting a Feature

  1. Consult the FAQ to make sure that the behaviour you would like isn't specifically excluded (such as string inlining).
  2. Make sure someone hasn't requested the same thing. See the list of known issues.
  3. Read up on what type of feature requests are accepted.
  4. Submit your request as an issue.

Submitting patches

  1. All contributors must sign a contributor license agreement (CLA). A CLA basically says that you own the rights to any code you contribute, and that you give us permission to use that code in Closure Compiler. You maintain the copyright on that code. If you own all the rights to your code, you can fill out an individual CLA. If your employer has any rights to your code, then they also need to fill out a corporate CLA. If you don't know if your employer has any rights to your code, you should ask before signing anything. By default, anyone with an @google.com email address already has a CLA signed for them.
  2. To make sure your changes are of the type that will be accepted, ask about your patch on the Closure Compiler Discuss Group
  3. Fork the repository.
  4. Make your changes. Check out our coding conventions for details on making sure your code is in correct style.
  5. Submit a pull request for your changes. A project developer will review your work and then merge your request into the project.
