yii2-version-assetmgr
=====================

[](#yii2-version-assetmgr)

A drop in replacement AssetManager for the Yii2 framework. Yii's default AssetManager hashes assets based on path + Yii version + file modification time, but if your website is being served behind a load balancer from multiple web servers and the file mtimes are different, this could lead to serving assets from different paths.

To combat this, instead the VersionAssetManager hashes path + Yii version + application version. Application version is read from the `version` key of the `params` array from the configuration file:

```
'params' => [
    'version' => '1.0.0'
],

```

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

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist jhancock/yii2-version-assetmgr "*"

```

or add

```
"jhancock/yii2-version-assetmgr": "*"

```

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

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

[](#configuration)

Configure your application to use the VersionAssetManager by adding the following component configuration:

```
'assetManager' => [
    'class' => 'jhancock\VersionAssetMgr\VersionAssetManager',
],

```

You should then set a `version` parameter in the `params` array when you publish your application.

In the development environment, either omit setting the `version` key in the config, set it to `Development`, or omit it altogether and it will default to `Development`. When the version is `Development`, we instead hash path + Yii version + time() to guarantee that we always bust cache in the development environment. This means that every pageload will create new folders under your `assets` directory and copy lots of files. It is therefore recommended that you turn on symlinking by setting `linkAssets` to `true` under the `assetManager`component configuration like so:

```
'assetManager' => [
    'class' => 'jhancock\VersionAssetMgr\VersionAssetManager',
    'linkAssets' => true,
],

```
