Property Details

$commands public property

The commands that are used to perform the asset conversion. The keys are the asset file extension names, and the values are the corresponding target script types (either "css" or "js") and the commands used for the conversion.

You may also use a path alias to specify the location of the command:

[
    'styl' => ['css', '@app/node_modules/bin/stylus < {from} > {to}'],
]

public array $commands = ['less' => ['css', 'lessc {from} {to} --no-color --source-map'], 'scss' => ['css', 'sass {from} {to} --sourcemap'], 'sass' => ['css', 'sass {from} {to} --sourcemap'], 'styl' => ['css', 'stylus < {from} > {to}'], 'coffee' => ['js', 'coffee -p {from} > {to}'], 'ts' => ['js', 'tsc --out {to} {from}']]

$forceConvert public property

Whether the source asset file should be converted even if its result already exists. You may want to set this to be true during the development stage to make sure the converted assets are always up-to-date. Do not set this to true on production servers as it will significantly degrade the performance.

public boolean $forceConvert = false

Method Details

convert() public method

Converts a given asset file into a CSS or JS file.

public string convert ( $asset, $basePath )
$asset	string	The asset file path, relative to $basePath
$basePath	string	The directory the $asset is relative to.

runCommand() protected method

Runs a command to convert asset files.

protected boolean runCommand ( $command, $basePath, $asset, $result )
$command	string	The command to run. If prefixed with an `@` it will be treated as a path alias.
$basePath	string	Asset base path and command working directory
$asset	string	The name of the asset file
$result	string	The name of the file to be generated by the converter command
return	boolean	True on success, false on failure. Failures will be logged.
