Laravel Assets
==============

[](#laravel-assets)

This package provides a simpler alternative to using gulp/elixir in L5. It’s designed to get out of your way and allow you to work without worrying about running a watch command and waiting for files to compile. All you’ll need to do is store your assets in /resources/assets, and the package will automatically detect changes and compile (and cache) on page load.

In production environments, you should run the `assets:publish` command to precompile all assets and move them into the public directory where your web server can more effeciently serve them.

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

[](#installation)

##### Add the package to composer

[](#add-the-package-to-composer)

```
composer require "shnhrrsn/laravel-assets" "dev-master"
```

##### Add the following line to your service providers in `config/app.php`

[](#add-the-following-line-to-your-service-providers-in-configappphp)

```
		Assets\ServiceProvider::class,
```

##### *(Optional)* Update your `.gitignore` files to ignore published assets

[](#optional-update-your-gitignore-files-to-ignore-published-assets)

All of your assets should live in `/resources/assets`, so it’s a good idea to update your `.gitignore` to make sure published assets don’t accidentally make their way into git.

```
echo "published_assets.php" >> config/.gitignore
echo "css/" >> public/.gitignore
echo "img/" >> public/.gitignore
echo "js/" >> public/.gitignore
echo "font/" >> public/.gitignore
```

##### *(Optional)* Publish config

[](#optional-publish-config)

If you want to override the default config settings for Assets, you should publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

##### Install toolchain

[](#install-toolchain)

To quickly install the necessary tools for Assets to compile, use the built in `install-toolchain` command:

```
php artisan assets:install-toolchain
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

##### Include your assets in blade via the `asset_path()` function

[](#include-your-assets-in-blade-via-the-asset_path-function)

`asset_path()` will look for your files in `/resources/assets`, so the file referenced in the snippet below should be in `/resources/assets/scss/site.scss`.

```

```

Now refresh the page to make sure your file was included and properly compiled.

##### On deploy, run `php artisan assets:publish`

[](#on-deploy-run-php-artisan-assetspublish)

This will pre-compile all assets and move them into the `public/` directory. As long as you’re using `asset_path()` to reference your assets, they’ll start serving the compiled versions.

#### Images and Fonts

[](#images-and-fonts)

Files stored in `/resources/assets/img`, `/resources/assets/font` and `/resources/assets/css` are served as-is (with proper content types) and are copied directly into the same directories in `/public` during `assets:publish`.

CSS minification is not supported at this time for raw files. Minification is provided for scss, less, coffee and js files via their compilers.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Add minification support for raw css files.
