NAME Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack - Compress and convert css, less, sass, javascript and coffeescript files VERSION 1.04 SYNOPSIS Application use Mojolicious::Lite; # Load plugin and pipes in the right order plugin AssetPack => { pipes => [qw(Less Sass Css CoffeeScript Riotjs JavaScript Combine)] }; # define asset app->asset->process( # virtual name of the asset "app.css" => ( # source files used to create the asset "sass/bar.scss", "https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/blob/master/sass/materialize.scss", ) ); Template %= asset "app.css" <%= content %> FOR EXISTING USERS Are you already using AssetPack? You can still do so without any change. This new version was written to make it easier to maintain and also easier to extend. The new code will be "activated" by loadind this plugin with a list of pipes: $app->plugin(AssetPack => {pipes => [...]}); The old API will not be maintained and slowly deprecated. DESCRIPTION Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack is Mojolicious plugin for processing static assets. The idea is that JavaScript and CSS files should be served as one minified file to save bandwidth and roundtrip time to the server. There are many external tools for doing this, but integrating them with Mojolicious can be a struggle: You want to serve the source files directly while developing, but a minified version in production. This assetpack plugin will handle all of that automatically for you. The actual processing is delegated to "pipe objects". Please see "Pipes" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial for a complete list. GUIDES * Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial The tutorial will give an introduction to how AssetPack can be used. * Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Cookbook The cookbook has various receipes on how to cook with AssetPack. ENVIRONNMENT It is possible to set environment variables to change the behavior of AssetPack: * MOJO_ASSETPACK_DEBUG Set this environment variable to get more debug to STDERR. Currently you can set it to a value between 0 and 3, where 3 provides the most debug. OPTIONAL MODULES There are some optional modules you might want to install: * CSS::Minifier::XS Used by Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Pipe::CSS. * CSS::Sass Used by Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Pipe::Sass. * IO::Socket::SSL Required if you want to download assets served over SSL. * JavaScript::Minifier::XS Used by Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Pipe::JavaScript. HELPERS asset $self = $app->asset; $self = $c->asset; $bytestream = $c->asset($topic, @args); $bytestream = $c->asset("app.css", media => "print"); "asset()" is the main entry point to this plugin. It can either be used to access the Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack instance or as a tag helper. The helper name "asset" can be customized by specifying "helper" when registering the plugin. See Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial for more details. ATTRIBUTES minify $bool = $self->minify; $self = $self->minify($bool); Set this to true to combine and minify the assets. Defaults to false if "mode" in Mojolicious is "development" and true otherwise. See "Application mode" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial for more details. route $route = $self->route; $self = $self->route($route); A Mojolicious::Routes::Route object used to serve assets. The default route responds to HEAD and GET requests and calls serve_asset() on "store" to serve the asset. See "ASSETS FROM CUSTOM DOMAIN" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Cookbook for an example on how to customize this route. store $obj = $self->store; $self = $self->store(Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Store->new); Holds a Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Store object used to locate, store and serve assets. ua $ua = $self->ua; Holds a Mojo::UserAgent which can be used to fetch assets either from local application or from remote web servers. METHODS pipe $obj = $self->pipe($name); $obj = $self->pipe("Css"); Will return a registered pipe by $name or "undef" if none could be found. process $self = $self->process($topic => @assets); $self = $self->process($definition_file); Used to process assets. A $definition_file can be used to define $topic and @assets in a seperate file. See "Process assets" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial for more details. $definition_file defaults to "assetpack.def". processed $collection = $self->processed($topic); Can be used to retrieve a Mojo::Collection object, with zero or more Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Asset objects. Returns undef if $topic is not defined with "process". register $self->register($app, \%config); Used to register the plugin in the application. %config can contain: * helper Name of the helper to add to the application. Default is "asset". * pipes This argument is mandatory and need to contain a complete list of pipes that is needed. Example: $app->plugin(AssetPack => {pipes => [qw(Sass Css Combine)]); See "Pipes" in Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack::Guides::Tutorial for a complete list of available pipes. * proxy A hash of proxy settings. Set this to 0 to disable proxy detection. Currently only "no_proxy" is supported, which will set which requests that should bypass the proxy (if any proxy is detected). Default is to bypass all requests to localhost. See "detect" in Mojo::UserAgent::Proxy for more infomation.
