Automatically copy [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) and [Bootstrap Icons](https://icons.getbootstrap.com/) assets to your CakePHP `webroot/` directory when packages are installed or updated via Composer.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- ✨ Automatic copying of Bootstrap CSS and JS files
- ✨ Automatic copying of Bootstrap Icons CSS and fonts
- 🚀 Works with Composer package install/update hooks
- 🛠️ Manual CLI command for on-demand copying
- ✅ Fully compatible with CakePHP 4.x and 5.x
- 🔧 Customizable configuration and paths
- 📝 Comprehensive logging via Composer IO interface

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require arthusantiago/bootstrap-for-cakephp
```

Then ensure you have Bootstrap installed:

```
composer require twbs/bootstrap twbs/bootstrap-icons
```

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

This package automatically detects when Bootstrap or Bootstrap Icons are installed or updated via Composer, and copies the necessary files to your CakePHP `webroot/` directory:

- **Bootstrap CSS/JS** → `webroot/css/` and `webroot/js/`
- **Bootstrap Icons** → `webroot/css/` and `webroot/css/fonts/`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Automatic (Recommended)

[](#automatic-recommended)

Once installed, the package automatically copies assets whenever you:

```
composer install
composer update
composer require twbs/bootstrap
composer update twbs/bootstrap
```

### Manual Copy

[](#manual-copy)

If you need to manually copy assets, use the CLI command:

```
# Copy all supported packages automatically
composer copy-bootstrap-assets

# Or copy specific package assets
composer copy-bootstrap-assets twbs/bootstrap twbs/bootstrap-icons

# Or copy each one individually
composer copy-bootstrap-assets twbs/bootstrap
composer copy-bootstrap-assets twbs/bootstrap-icons
```

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

### Customizing Asset Paths

[](#customizing-asset-paths)

Extend the `AssetsConfig` class to customize where assets are copied:
