adifucan / m2-baler

Magento module that injects necessary tags into the head of the document

Overview

It's non-official module yet. Just for alpha testing!

Magento_Baler module introduces functionality to preload JS bundles configuration generated by https://github.com/DrewML/baler/ - tool for static analysis of Javascript dependencies.
This functionality is disabled by default and it can be enabled on the configuration page (Stores -> Configuration -> Advanced -> Developer -> Javascript Settings).
Developer settings is not displayed in production mode.
To enable this feature in production mode, the CLI command bin/magento config:set dev/js/enable_baler_js_bundling 1 can be used.

What is not implemented in this module yet:

1. The following features should be disabled when Magento_Baler is enabled:
   • JS Bundling
   • JS Minification

How to install module

Using Git

1. Clone repository: git clone https://github.com/adifucan/m2-baler.git
2. Rename cloned m2-baler directory into Baler and place this directory into app/code/Magento directory
3. Run bin/magento setup:upgrade

Using Composer

1. Add "magento/module-baler": "dev-master" to require section of composer.json
   So, your require section looks like:

    "require": {
        "magento/product-community-edition": "2.3.3",
        "magento/module-baler": "dev-master"
    },

2. Change "minimum-stability": "stable" to "minimum-stability": "dev" and add "prefer-stable": true
   This means that composer will always use stable package unless there is one. If there is no stable package it will use dev version.
3. Add

{
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/adifucan/m2-baler.git"
}

to requires section. So it looks like:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
        },
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/adifucan/m2-baler.git"
        }
    ],

4. Run composer update
5. magento/module-baler should be created in vendor folder.
