Assets
======

[](#assets)

ANOTHER static Asset manager package for PHP 5.3+

This one is designed to support the following workflow:

- Assets are defined as Containers of one or more stylesheets or scripts
- Container contents can vary between environments
- Your app controllers or endpoints can render Containers ready for views via a very simple interface
- The package does NOT currently compile or combine assets - you would do that using your build/deploy process and reflect the differing Container contents in your environments
- Very extensible. More StaticAssets could be added such as SASS, LESS or Coffeescript. Or maybe even an Image class that outputs the [Picture element](http://picture.responsiveimages.org/#example-of-usage). See comments in the Classes for more info

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

[](#installation)

Install via Composer (dmlogic/assets) or

```
include 'Assets/Assets.php';
include 'Assets/StaticAsset.php';
include 'Assets/Script.php';
include 'Assets/Style.php';

use Dmlogic\Assets\Assets as Assets;

```

### Installing to Laravel 4

[](#installing-to-laravel-4)

Add the following to the 'require' section of your composer.json file.

```
"dmlogic/assets": "*"

```

Now run `composer update`.

You can then use the package immediately via the namespace e.g.

```
$myContainer = Dmlogic\Assets\Assets::container();

```

However, for easier usage, complete the following steps.

#### Add an Alias

[](#add-an-alias)

Open the file app/config/app.php and add a line to the 'aliases' array:

```
'Assets' => 'Dmlogic\Assets\Assets'

```

You can now access the main class using

```
$myContainer = Assets::container();

```

#### Utilise cascading config files

[](#utilise-cascading-config-files)

Create an assets.php file in your app/config folder and add an array as described in the 'Generate Containers from text arrays' section below.

Then duplicate and adjust this file for your different environment folders.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The interface is a simplified form of the Laravel 3 Asset class. Create one or more containers, add assets to them and then render within a view.

### Create new containers

[](#create-new-containers)

This one will be called 'default'

```
$myContainer = Assets::container();

```

This one will be called 'home'

```
$homeContainer = Assets::container('home');

```

### Add an asset

[](#add-an-asset)

```
$myAsset = new Dmlogic\Assets\Style(array(
                                        'path'  => '/assets/css/bootstrap.css',
                                        'media' => 'screen'
                                     ))
$myContainer->add($myAsset);

```

### Render the Container

[](#render-the-container)

```

```

and

```

```

### Create named container and add multiple assets in one command

[](#create-named-container-and-add-multiple-assets-in-one-command)

```
$myAssets = array(

    new Dmlogic\Assets\Style(array(
                                'path'  => '/assets/css/bootstrap.css',
                                'media' => 'screen'
                             )),

    new Dmlogic\Assets\Style(array(
                                'path'  => '/assets/css/print.css',
                                'media' => 'print'
                             )),

    new Dmlogic\Assets\Script(array(
                                'path' => '/assets/js/bootstrap.js',
                              ))

    new Dmlogic\Assets\Script(array(
                                'inline' => 'console.log("useful, huh?")'
                              ))
);

Assets::container('home')->add($myAssets);

```

### Render assets from named Container

[](#render-assets-from-named-container)

```
echo Assets::container('home')->styles();

echo Assets::container('home')->scripts();

```

### Generate Containers from text arrays

[](#generate-containers-from-text-arrays)

One of the most likely uses of this package is to define your containers in config files that vary per environment. A method `createContainer()` is available to make this a simple process. It accepts two parameters, a config array in the format [described here](https://github.com/dmlogic/assets/blob/master/samples/config.php)and the name of the container.

```
$containers = include '/config/packages/[your_environment]/assets.php';

$defaultAssets = Assets::createContainer( $containers['default'] );

$homeAssets = Assets::createContainer( $containers['home'], 'home' );

```

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

- Decent Exception handling
- Picture Element Asset type perhaps?
- Sizable image Asset type perhaps?
- SVG with PNG fallback for old IE perhaps?
