\#Assetie

What is Assetie?
----------------

[](#what-is-assetie)

Assetie is my laravel package for managing assets in Laravel 4. It uses [Kris Wallsmith's](https://github.com/kriswallsmith) great Assetic for it's minifying and compressing of asset files.

**This package is still wip, that means it is in an early stage and needs much work that has to be done until Assetie can be used in a production environment!**

### Why another Asset Management Package for Laravel 4?

[](#why-another-asset-management-package-for-laravel-4)

I tried several products over time and wasn't happy with them at all.

All I've wanted was a package which would be easy to use, clean and fast at the same time.

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

[](#installation)

1. Require Assetie by adding it to the "require" key of the composer.json file:

    ```
     "dhardtke/assetie": "dev-master"

    ```

    Run "composer update" to update all your dependencies and install Assetie.
2. Include Assetie in your Laravel project by adding it to the app's config:

    In **app/config/app.php**:

    - `'Dhardtke\Assetie\AssetieServiceProvider'` to the `'providers'` array
    - `'Collection'         => 'Dhardtke\Assetie\Facades\Collection'` to the `aliases` array

That's it! Now you can start managing your assets.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Run `php artisan config:publish dhardtke/assetie` from the command line in your Laravel installation directory to publish Assetie's config file.

Then you can edit **app/config/packages/dhardtke/assetie/config.php** as follows:

---

### Filters

[](#filters)

```
'filters' => array(
	'.min.js' => array(
	),
	'.min.css' => array(
		new \Assetic\Filter\CssRewriteFilter,
		$uglifyCss,
		new \Assetic\Filter\PhpCssEmbedFilter
	),
	'.js' => array(
		$JSqueeze
	),
	'.less'	=> array(
		$lessFilter,
		$uglifyCss
	),
	'.css' => array(
		new \Assetic\Filter\CssRewriteFilter,
		$uglifyCss,
		new \Assetic\Filter\PhpCssEmbedFilter
	),
)

```

Add specific Assetic filters to certain extensions. See the appropriate [Assetic filters overview](https://github.com/kriswallsmith/assetic#filters) for more details.

### Directories

[](#directories)

```
'directories'    => array(
	'javascripts'	=> 'assets/javascripts',
	'stylesheets'	=> 'assets/stylesheets'
),

```

These are the directories where Assetie will look for it's JavaScript and Stylesheet-Files. If you want to change them, you can do it here. *These paths are relative to the app path.*

### Build Path

[](#build-path)

```
'build_path'    => 'builds',

```

If you want, you can change the directory where Assetie will store it's builds. By default it is set to app\_public() . /builds, but if you want you can change it here.

*This path is always relative to the public path of Laravel*

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a file called **collections.php** next to your **routes.php**. That file will be automatically included by Assetie and holds your Asset Collections.

### Define your first collection

[](#define-your-first-collection)

To create your own, first collection you have to use the following code inside of your collections.php:

```
Collection::addCollection("base", function($collection) {
    $collection->add([
		"style.css",
        "base.js"
	]);
});

```

You can now start using this collection by calling this function in your template (typically in your ``):

```
{{ Collection::stylesheets("base"}}
{{ Collection::javascripts("base"}}

```

### Defining a collection that uses the base collection

[](#defining-a-collection-that-uses-the-base-collection)

If you now want to have a new collection that inherits the base collection, you can do it like this:

```
Collection::addCollection("portal", function($collection) {
    $collection->includeCollection("base")
	 ->add("portal.css");
});

```
