In production you probably will want to use other caching frameworks such as assetic.** Version 0.1 was a proof of concept to test if it worked. Since this does indeed appear to work im going to rework it to fill a number of potential objectives: - Ability to state which files you want to crunch and load - One file will be produced per set of crunch files. If you crunch A, B, and A+B they will exist as 3 separate crunch files - The output of crunch A and B will not be used for A and B, and will be completely separate - If the combined crunch is not available on the filesystem an exception will be thrown - In debug mode the raw files will be loaded instead of the crunched file - In debug mode, every time the raw files are loaded they are crunched - These crunched files will be saved as a new revision and will allow easy deployment calling the specific crunch method - When crunching files manually it will check for these new cached files and use them if present to speed up cache deployment - Some way to know which crunched files have new revisions you could deploy - CSS files will be supported to merge css into a single file - Uglify css will need to be ported over similarly to uglify js - maybe add some kind of similar interface, etc? - maybe allow any kind of crunching software to be plugged in? - Store a list of previously crunched files, and their current file somewhere "nice" - Allow a user to recrunch everything if its changed using above store - Allow marking a crunch as "stale" after a file has been removed from the filesystem - Some way to view this potentially? - Have some basic versioning of crunched files Current Issues -------------- [](#current-issues) Possible implementation ----------------------- [](#possible-implementation) - JSON store to store all the data about the files - Then export this to a basic php array file used for the main cache - JSON file stores all the details such as new files, etc - Each time the cache is modified json file is written out as a php file that works as the bootstrap TODO: ----- [](#todo) - Remove all comments but allow custom comments at the top of the file configurable - Allow getting the details of all previously crushed files and their constitutent paths - Allow crushing by identifier (using the details of the constituent parts) - Allow checking of identifiers to find what hasnt yet been updated (has changes in constituent files) - Comment all code - Comment all tests - Write some more tests - Create an example implementation repo? - Run speedtests on importing a json file and including the php file? (only used the PHP file including as I have made the assumptions that it will be faster, possibly not true?)
