Custom pipeline

You can string together the various components of the pipeline yourself. This is what methods like AddJsBundle and MinifyCssFiles are doing under the hood.

Imaging you had a bunch of .txt files that contained CSS and you wanted to bundle that up as a single CSS output file on the URL http://localhost/bundle.css. Here’s what that could look like:

services.AddWebOptimizer(pipeline =>
{
    pipeline.AddBundle("/bundle.css", "text/css; charset=utf-8", "/dir/*.txt")
            .AdjustRelativePaths()
            .Concatenate()
            .FingerprintUrls()
            .MinifyCss();
});

The AddBundle method is the base method used by AddJsBundle and AddCssBundle and takes a content type as the second parameter before the list of source files.

Any extension on top of WebOptimizer that bundles files would use AddBundle under the hood as well.
