Safely concatenate JavaScript · 2af0561d
Most JavaScript packages wrap their code in IIFEs, which is good. Pipeline used to concatenate JS only with a newline. That can break those IIFES though: (function() { // package A }()) // No semicolon! Most people put one here, but unfortunately not all! (function() { // package B }()); The above is equivalent to: (function() { // package A }())(function() { // package B }()); Suddenly we have a function call! With this commit, JS is concatenated with a newline followed by a semicolon, which fixes the above issue: (function() { // package A }()) // No semicolon! Most people put one here, but unfortunately not all! ;(function() { // package B }()); There is no need to worry about superfluos semicolons, such as: (function() { // package A }()); ;;(function() { // package B }()); That is still valid JavaScript and the extra semicolons will be removed by the minifier.
