README

An abstraction layer to enable managing of assets via a config array. A different way of implementing Assetic.

Installation

Installation is via Composer. Add the following to your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "rob-mccann/asseticanesthetic": "0.1"
    }
}

Run composer install

Features

1. Generate assets based on configuration
2. Keeps MVC, no need for <script src="assets.php">
3. Quick to install and use
4. Ideal for small, quick projects where delivery is a higher requirement than raw performance

Usage

This project is framework independent. You can use it in almost any PHP project. First, you'll need to create a new object and pass it in our wonderful config array (see the examples to see what to pass in here).

$assets = new \AsseticAnesthetic\SimpleAssetManager($config);

You can then call $assets->renderJs() and $assets->renderCss() to render the HTML tags.

Most of the time, you'll want to load $config from your frameworks Config class. In Laravel and FuelPHP, it's something along the lines of $config = Config::read('assets').

Enabling / Disabling groups

Before you call the render functions, you can override your config to enable or disable groups.

// the following will enable jQuery UI if it exists, but
// will then disable the jquery-ui css from being processed and shown
$assets->enable('jquery-ui');
$assets->disable('jquery-ui', SimpleAssetManager::CSS);

Todo

1. Write proper tests
2. Implement more filters
3. Improve documentation
