Extended Asset Manager

Compiles .less file(s) on-the-fly and publishes output .css file

 

Author: Inpassor  .

Link: https://github.com/Inpassor/yii-EAssetManager .

Version: 0.3 (2013.10.24) .

INSTALLATION

============

##Install with composer:

```

composer require inpassor/yii-eassetmanager

```

##Manual install:

1. Copy EAssetManager.php to /protected/vendor/ directory

2. Add or replace the assetManager component in /protected/config/main.php like that:

```

	'components'=>array(

		...

		'assetManager'=>array(

			'class'=>'EAssetManager',

			'lessCompile'=>true,

			'lessCompiledPath'=>'application.assets.css',

			'lessFormatter'=>'compressed',

			'lessForceCompile'=>false,

		),

		...

	),

```

See code of EAssetManager.php to read description of public properties.

3. CHMOD 'lessCompiledPath' directory to 0777 in order to create new files there by EAssetManager.

4. Optional: enable Yii caching. Otherwise, EAssetManager will create (or use existing) directory /protected/runtime/cache/ and store cache data there.

You can override this path by setting public property 'cachePath'.

USAGE

=====

Just publish .less file with assetManager like that:

```

$css = CHtml::asset(Yii::app()->basePath.'/vendors/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less');

```

That's all :)

Also it might be useful to pre-compile .less files. For example, to make command which compiles .less files in background.

In this case you can use "lessCompile" method:

```

Yii::app()->assetManager->lessCompile(Yii::app()->basePath.'/vendors/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less');

```

Output .css file will be stored under 'lessCompiledPath' directory.

And then add already compiled file in your application:

```

$css = CHtml::asset(Yii::app()->assetManager->lessCompiledPath.'/bootstrap.css');

```
