Issues with the output or Java should be reported on the Closure Compiler issue tracker.

Install

npm install --save-dev gulp-closure-compiler-old

Example

Simple optimizations

Simple optimizations for classic minifying.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var closureCompiler = require('gulp-closure-compiler-old');

gulp.task('default', function() {
  gulp.src('src/*.js')
    .pipe(closureCompiler({
      compilerPath: 'bower_components/closure-compiler/compiler.jar',
      fileName: 'build.js'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Advanced optimizations

Advanced optimizations is much more aggressive. It's aimed for libraries like Closure Library.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var closureCompiler = require('gulp-closure-compiler-old');

gulp.task('default', function() {
  gulp.src('src/*.js')
    .pipe(closureCompiler({
      compilerPath: 'bower_components/closure-compiler/compiler.jar',
      fileName: 'build.js',
      compilerFlags: {
        closure_entry_point: 'app.main',
        compilation_level: 'ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS',
        define: [
          "goog.DEBUG=false"
        ],
        externs: [
          'bower_components/este-library/externs/react.js'
        ],
        extra_annotation_name: 'jsx',
        only_closure_dependencies: true,
        output_wrapper: '(function(){%output%})();',
        warning_level: 'VERBOSE'
      }
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Implementation notes

• Closure compiler supports pipes, but not correctly (issue).
• You don't need closurebuilder.py script, compiler knows how to resolve dependencies.
• Java 1.7+ is required.
