closure-api

A Closure Ring server that acts as a transparent Google Closure compiler.

You can access the Docker image of this repository here.

Usage

Set your nginx like this:

upstream backend-closure-api { server closure-api:7070; }

server {
      ...
  
      location ~ ^/(.*\.js)$ {
        proxy_pass http://backend-closure-api;
        proxy_redirect     off;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
    } 
}

This will transparently compile and serve JS files. The API has a builtin SQlite cache.

Configuration

closure-api supports configuration via env variables:

• DEFAULT_HOST: This is the underlying service with the JS files.
• DEFAULT_PASSTHRU: You can turn off the compilation by setting this variable. Also, compilation can be turned off then you add _passthru=1 to the query string arguments.

TODO

• periodic cache expiration
• compiling static JS files on the fly (DEFAULT_HOST in format of file://...)
