Unable to bundle mdb.min.js with other .js files


Topic: Unable to bundle mdb.min.js with other .js files

hraud pro premium priority asked 5 years ago

To reduce the number of files downloaded to the browser, I am trying to bundle mdb.min.js with my other js files.

However, when I try to do so in Visual Studio, I get numerous errors in mdb.min.js: "strict-mode does not allow assignment to undefined variables".

It appears that there are several undefined variables in mdb.js even though strict mode has been declared in mdb.js. This is causing the bundling and minification to fail.

I could work around this by editing mdb.js to either declare the variables or remove the "use strict" statements, but this should be fixed by the MDB team.

Hello,

Thanks for the message. I added the task to that. We will check it as soon as possible. Did you use another cool extension to check it? Like eslint or something like that?

Best, Piotr

I use Visual Studio's bundler and minifier: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.BundlerMinifier

However, I have run mdb.js through eslint at https://eslint.org/demo, and it finds a lot more issues than the 19 errors that are preventing bundling from working in my projects.

we already re-write our dev repo to jQuery. We will update this repo with the best standards and technologies available in extensions like npm/webpack/eslint etc. Thanks for the report btw. Have a nice day.
