Basic Usage with Silex 1.x

If you are using Silex 1.x, we recommend making use of the AssetServiceProvider provided by lightster/lstr-silex-asset.

Using lstr-silex-asset

Installation via Composer

Installing lst-silex-app is simple. Add lightster/lstr-silex-asset to your composer.json and run composer update lightster/lstr-silex-asset.

Enable the Service Provider

In your index.php or wherever you register service providers, register the AssetServiceProvider:

$app->register(new \Lstr\Silex\Asset\AssetServiceProvider(
    'path'       => array(
        'app' => __DIR__ . '/src/assets/app',
    ),
    'url_prefix' => '/asset',
));

Add a get Route to Your Application

In your index.php or wherever you register your controllers, register an /asset/{name} route:

$controllers->get('/asset/{name}', function ($name, Application $app, Request $request) {
    return $app['lstr.asset.responder']->getResponse(
        $name,
        array(
            'request' => $request,
        )
    );
})->assert('name', '.*');

The assert('name', '.*') on the route tells Silex to pass everything after /asset/ to the controller as a single parameter, $name. Without the assert, Silex will treat the next slash after /asset/ as a separate parameter and report that no route matches the given request.

Assetrinc needs the entire asset path in order to locate the asset.

Adding CSS and JS Includes to Your Templates

In your php and phtml template files, you may now create <link> and <script> tags to include your CSS and JS, respectively, using the lstr-silex-asset display helpers:

<?php echo $app['lstr.asset']->cssTag('app/bundle/application.css'); ?>
<?php echo $app['lstr.asset']->jsTag('app/bundle/application.js'); ?>
