Rails and Javascript minifier and aggregator

Question

I am starting a new rails project and is there any rails plug in I can use that will minify my javascript and combine it into 1 file?

I would imagine there might be a rake task for this.

What would be used for this in rails?

Answer 1

There are several actually:

• AssetPackager
• Jammit
• BundleFu

I've only used asset packager, and its been nothing but a joy.
