Include all files in a folder in a single bundle

Question

When using BundleConfig is it possible to include all files of a folder including all the files of the childfolders (and their childfolders etc.)?

I found .IncludeDirectory() but it seems to only include the files of the folder itself, not the files of the subfolders.

Solution

Use the overload of IncludeDirectory method which accepts bool searchSubdirectories as third parameter.

MSDN:

searchSubdirectories - Specifies whether to recursively search subdirectories of directoryVirtualPath.

Example:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/scripts")
    .IncludeDirectory("~/Scripts", "*.js", true));

can we order the files in the directory as done here ?

[Shaiju T]

this doesn't including .min files, is there a solution ? , cause i have .min and .js files in the folder

[Zabavsky]

@stom, min files are usually included by the bundles in the release mode.

yes you are correct as mentioned here , i have changed the web.config to <compilation debug="false"> and in BundleConfig.cs added BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; thank you.

@Zabavsky, There is a bug in Web.Optimization version 1.1 in which your answer doesn't work, but updating to the latest version or downgrading to 1.0 will fix it. Might want to add that to your answer to save people some time. stackoverflow.com/questions/22612157/…
