Idea: Execute optimization automatically after static-content:deploy

[davidverholen]

This issue is a:

• [ ] Bug
• [x] Feature suggestion
• [ ] Documentation issue
• [ ] Other (Please Specify)

Description

• once the build config is present somewhere in the project, probably all steps after that could be automated by hooking into the static-content deploy process of magento
• Maybe add a flag to setup:static-content:deploy command to trigger optimization

Preconditions

• requirejs has to be installed and available as command
• magento js minification disabled (could probably be automated)
• static content deploy mode can possibly not be compact

Steps after a Theme is deployed

• copy theme to <theme_dir>_source
• execute rjs optimizer
• remove _source dir?

For now I use static:content-deploy

• gulp babel / styles --prod (from frontools directory)
• set of gulp tasks (from tools-rjs-optimizer directory*)

*(based on frontools) - I've created similar tool with similar structure (but in separate project - not public yet) for -- preparing assets/backup of generated static assets (for testing on local in production mode to skip static:content-deploy if we want to test different build configuration)

• running r.js optimizer
• have compress task to compress require.js (as it is in /pub/static/_requirejs/frontend/vendor/theme/locale_Locale/requirejs-config.js)

Probably it would good if something similar could be added to static-content:deploy command via some extra flags for people who need it.

Depending on our implementation we will think about sharing it or even adding to the frontools.
