ASSETMON
========

[](#assetmon)

An open-source automated web asset monitoring and compilation tool written in PHP.

---

This tool recursively monitors and compiles all web assets so that web applications will have to load one single file.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### 1. Configure `assetmon.json`

[](#1-configure-assetmonjson)

> Note: `assetmon.json` is the default configuration file of **assetmon**.

The snippet below is the default content of `assetmon.json`:

```
{

    "extensions": [
        "js",
        "css"
    ],

    "directories" : [
        "./"
    ],

    "destination" : "./assets",

    "recursive" : true

}

```

**Configuration directives**

1. #### `extensions (array)`

    [](#extensions-array)

    > **Default:** `[ "js", "css" ]`

    An array of file extensions to be included in asset monitoring.
2. #### `directories (array)`

    [](#directories-array)

    > **Default:** `[ "./" ]`

    An array of existing directories to be included in recursive file monitoring. **Symbolic paths** are allowed.
3. #### `destination (string)`

    [](#destination-string)

    > **Default:** `"./assets"`

    The path to destination folder. If path does not exist, it will automatically be created. **Symbolic paths** are allowed.
4. #### `recursive (boolean)`

    [](#recursive-boolean)

    > **Default:** `true`

    Boolean value if assets (from `directories`) will be recursively monitored.

---

### 2. Start `assetmon`

[](#2-start-assetmon)

Copy **assetmon** to your current working directory and make sure that `assetmon.json` is properly configured and is in the same directory.

> **Note:** `assetmon` file is a GZip compressed PHP archive

Optionally, you can specify the configuration to be used through `config` argument.

**Console command syntax**

```
$ php assetmon [config]

```

If you work with an existing `assetmon.json` config file, you can follow the simple syntax below:

```
$ php assetmon/assetmon

```

The output asset files will vary based on what is specified in `extensions` and `destination`.

Sample scenario
===============

[](#sample-scenario)

**Example**

Given the sample configuration below:

```
{

    "extensions": [
        "js",
        "css"
    ],

    "directories" : [
        "./resources",
		"./dev/resources"
    ],

    "destination" : "./public/assets",

    "recursive" : true

}

```

In this example, it will do a *recursive monitoring* and compilation of `js` and `css` files.

The process starts by checking if directories `./resources` and `./dev/resources` exists.

Only existing directories/paths will be processed in *recursive monitoring*.

Outputs expected are `./public/assets/all.js` and `./public/assets/all.css`, respectively.

> **Note:** Whether the script found such file extensions from the given directories, it will still produce the mentioned files with respect to the specified `extensions`.
