Publish site and compress javascript?

Question

Is there a way, that when I Publish/Compile my web application in Visual Studio 2010 that any javascript files in the application can be automatically compressed?

You can use a Post Build action with Minifiers running over your scripts. — Furqan Hameedi, Mar 16 '11 at 11:08

Have you looked at the Web Deployment Tool Visual Studio 2010 - WDP or Publish for automated deployment?

I'll tell my experience and maybe it serves to you. When I build a web app, a consider use some content compressor, like SquishIt. It has behaviors like compress when in production and cache files. Hope it helps.

I wrote a nuget package to do this you might like to try ...

http://nuget.org/List/Packages/antix-nibbler

Uses YUI Compressor for .Net http://yuicompressor.codeplex.com/ for JS and CSS and PNGOUT.EXE http://advsys.net/ken/utils.htm for PNG compression

Doesn't combine the files into one like squishit does, but is easy to add to your app through nuget and needs no additional coding
