Suggestion: Release on CDNJS.com

[wmh]

CDNJS is a free Content Delivery Network hosted by CloudFlare for open source, community-driven projects. It would be great to release prism on CDNJS for all to use.

Instructions to add a project to CDNJS:
https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs

PS. Or you can simply add a tag to current version, and I'll do the rest.

git tag 1.0.0
git push --tags

It looks like someone did this (wahoo!):
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/prism

I think this can be closed.

The version is outdated. I guess since we now have release 1.0.0, something can be done to update CDNJS.

Please change/add CDN provider. I use jsDeliver, it automatically adds new release tags to clouds.
The 0.0.1 version on cdnjs is pretty buggy with JS.

Update
I found it on jsdeliver but it's still the old version!

[Golmote]

@thednp I configured the autopupdate on jsdelivr. (https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/tree/master/files/prism)

[thednp]

Thanks, as I can see the jsdeliver repository, there is no prism.min.js and prism.min.css, so you better check that too.

[Golmote]

No, there are all themes, all components (minified), all plugins (minified) and a default prism.js file that is mainly used for Prism's website, currently. We can argue about the minification of the themes, but well, I think we're ok for now.

[Golmote]

Both CDNJS and jsDeliver look up to date. I'm closing this issue.

Is there a simple example / html file that demonstrates how to use the cdn?

been trying to get this working: https://codesandbox.io/s/4xm5lzvkn7

[Golmote]

@NullVoxPopuli Unfortunately, using the CDN, you need to handle language dependencies yourself.

Handlebars requires Markup-templating, so a working example would be: https://codesandbox.io/s/3vx76wq76m

[hades200082]

Why not put a "Complete" js on CDN that includes all languages... and each theme css as individual CDN files. that way the developer only has two files to include from CDN.

If anyone doesn't want everything included they can still build their own version.

[Golmote]

@hades200082 I'm pretty sure this has been suggested before, but I'm unable to find the thread I'm looking for. Yet, there are short discussions about this in #174 (comment) and #768 (comment).

This would be a ~274Kb (minified) file, though. Do we really want people to load such a file?

[mAAdhaTTah]

@Golmote You wouldn't want to use it in production, but if you're pulling together like a small demo or something, it would be easier setup than figuring out exactly what languages you need. The counterpoint is it could easily be a "go-to" when people have problems (e.g. the markup-templating issue) that blows up their site weight without thinking deeply about what the problem is.

[Golmote]

@mAAdhaTTah That's definitely what I'm worried about. I guess we could add a message warning about the file size, so that we don't hold the responsability...

[mAAdhaTTah]

Just to take a step back, what's the use case / user flow that we're trying to solve here? @hades200082 since you made the suggestion, how are you thinking about using it?
