NAME Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack - Compress and convert css, less, sass, javascript and coffeescript files VERSION 0.43 SYNOPSIS Application use Mojolicious::Lite; # load plugin plugin "AssetPack"; # define assets: $moniker => @real_assets app->asset('app.js' => '/js/foo.js', '/js/bar.js', '/js/baz.coffee'); app->start; See also Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Assets for more details on how to define assets. Template %= asset 'app.js' %= asset 'app.css' See also Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Include for more details on how to include assets. DESCRIPTION Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack is a Mojolicious plugin which can be used to cram multiple assets of the same type into one file. This means that if you have a lot of CSS files (.css, .less, .sass, ...) as input, the AssetPack can make one big CSS file as output. This is good, since it will often speed up the rendering of your page. The output file can even be minified, meaning you can save bandwidth and browser parsing time. The core preprocessors that are bundled with this module can handle CSS and JavaScript files, written in many languages. MANUALS The documentation is split up in different manuals, for more in-depth information: * See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Assets for how to define assets in your application. * See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Include for how to include the assets in the template. * See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Modes for how AssetPack behaves in different modes. * See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::CustomDomain for how to serve your assets from a custom host. * See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Preprocessors for details on the different (official) preprocessors. ENVIRONMENT MOJO_ASSETPACK_DEBUG Set this to get extra debug information to STDERR from AssetPack internals. MOJO_ASSETPACK_NO_CACHE If true, convert the assets each time they're expanded, instead of once at application start (useful for development). This attribute has no effect if "minify" is true. HELPERS asset This plugin defined the helper "asset()". This helper can be called in different ways: * $self = $c->asset; This will return the plugin instance, that you can call methods on. * $c->asset($moniker => @real_files); See "add". * $bytestream = $c->asset($moniker, \%args, @attr); Used to include an asset in a template. ATTRIBUTES base_url $str = $self->base_url; This attribute can be used to control where to serve static assets from. Defaults value is "/packed". See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::CustomDomain for more details. NOTE! You need to have a trailing "/" at the end of the string. fallback $bool = $self->fallback; Used to read "old" assets if unable to generate new. Default is false in "development" mode and true otherwise. See "Fallback" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Modes. minify $bool = $self->minify; Set this to true if the assets should be minified. Default is false in "development" mode and true otherwise. preprocessors $obj = $self->preprocessors; Holds a Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Preprocessors object. out_dir $str = $self->out_dir; Holds the path to the directory where packed files can be written. It defaults to "mojo-assetpack-public/packed" directory in temp unless a static directory is writeable. METHODS add $self->add($moniker => @real_files); Used to define assets. See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Assets for mode details. fetch $path = $self->fetch($url); This method can be used to fetch an asset and store the content to a local file. The download will be skipped if the file already exists. The return value is the absolute path to the downloaded file. get @files = $self->get($moniker); Returns a list of files which the moniker point to. The list will only contain one file if "minify" is true. See "Full control" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Manual::Include for mode details. preprocessor $self = $self->preprocessor($name => \%args); Use this method to manually register a preprocessor. See "SYNOPSIS" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Preprocessor::Browserify for example usage. process This method will be deprecated. Use "add" instead. register plugin AssetPack => { base_url => $str, # default to "/packed" fallback => $bool, # fallback to old assets minify => $bool, # compress assets out_dir => "/path/to/some/directory", }; Will register the "compress" helper.
