Stand-alone way to bundle style/javascript

Question

In asp.net MVC, included a built-in integrated javascript bundle with BundleCollection. With it, you simply define which resources to add to bundle and render it on the view.

Now I want to make something like javascript/css portal which handle the resources and expose it via webapi.

Is there any stand-alone built-in way to bundle and minify, and return it as string?

It will be used across applications in integrated system. Well, enterprise for it to sound fancy enough :) — Fendy, Mar 03 '15 at 09:13

I would bundle and minify shared resources at build time.

I have referenced virtual folders in mvc bundles for multiple applications before and it is possible, but I found it a bit clunky.

There is a build time solution here - basically have a post-build event running yuicompressor etc: Concatenate and minify JavaScript on the fly OR at build time - ASP.NET MVC

There are also some runtime solutions there with the creation of a HTTPHandler, etc

I have seen the answer in you link but it doesn't answer my question. The runtime solution works in asp.net webform not in mvc. Furthermore, I am thinking in managing library version which will require runtime bundling not build time bundling. – Fendy Mar 03 '15 at 10:06
