Occipital is a [**Brain**](http://giuseppe-mazzapica.github.io/Brain/) module for **style and scripts management**.

It allows a better way to enqueue scripts and styles in WordPress.

Occipital, like others Brain modules is **not** a full-plugin, its a package to be embedded in larger projects.

However, embed in a theme or in a plugin is just matter of, literally, 3 lines of code and there is a [step-by-step guide](/occipital-in-theme-guide.md) to include Occipital in a theme.

\##What's wrong with standard styles and scripts handling in WordPress?

Have a look to related [**blog post**](http://gm.zoomlab.it/2014/whats-wrong-with-styles-and-scripts-in-wordpress/).

\#Features

- Possibility to define, for each asset, which other assets it **provides**, so that WordPress can skip loading them decreasing number of HTTP requests per page.
- Easy to use API that allows to add assets and additional data in one single place, with no need to use 3 different functions like `wp_register_script`, `wp_enqueue_script` and `wp_localize_script` (or `wp_add_inline_style` for styles).
- Conditional callback with rich context: for every asset is possible to set a "condition" as a callback: the asset is printed to page only if the callback returns true. That callback receives as argument current main [`WP_Query`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/) object in frontend and current [`WP_Screen`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_screen/) on backend, alongside current logged user (if any).
- Rich API to get and modify assets properties (url, dependencies, provided assets, version...) *on the fly*
- Custom hooks fired before and after an asset is printed to markup, for a great flexibility.
- Correct handling of styles in `` for login / register page.
- Just like all Brain packages, it is coded using all modern OOP PHP code and fully unit-tested.

\#Quick Start

All the things in Occipital can be done via API class: **`Brain\Assets`**.

Before do any call, you should wait for `'brain_loaded'` hook, or `'init'` if you prefer core hooks.

Below an example with all the methods available for scripts (only 2 are required):
