# Contao Extassets

> This bundle is outdated and not actively maintained anymore! Please have a look at [Encore Bundle](https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-encore-bundle) if you need a good and actively maintained asset solution.

Create your own css & js groups and add them to your contao theme layouts.

## General features
- Backend Module for external css
- Backend Module for external js
- Add multiple CSS & JS groups to contao layout
- Bootstrap framework support (for css by default, enable within js group)
- Font-Awesome added by default (availability of all variables and mixins)
- Elegant Icons can be added (availability of all variables and mixins)
- Css file caching for production mode (disable byPassCache in contao settings)

## External CSS

### Features
- Complete lesscss support, automatically compile all your less files within a external css group to css
- Observer folders (recursive) within your external css groups
- Add multiple custom variable files, to overwrite for example bootstrap variables.less (like @brand-primary)
- make use of all bootstrap mixins and variables within your own less files (See: http://getbootstrap.com/customize/#less-variables)
- bootstrap print.css support
- Internet Explorer 6-9 - 4096 css-selector handling (Internet Explorer 6 - 9 has only a maximum of 4096 css-selectors possible per file. Extassets make usage of https://github.com/zweilove/css_splitter ans solve this problem by splitting aggregated files into parts.)
- all files within $GLOBALS['TL_USER_CSS'] will be parsed within external css groups
