Assetpublisher

this is a lightweight Asset publisher. Mostly your assets (images,css,java-script files) are located in project's vendor/-Directory or other protected folders and are not accessable for Users Webbrowser.

The Section "assets" in the bundle-configuration provides the publish strategies. The Key sources defines an array of Asset-Sources. The Sources-Array Key defines the target filename.

In this Example, the bootstrap.css is copied to %kernel.project_dir%/web/assets/style.css:

publicpath: "%kernel.project_dir%/web/assets"
sources:
    styles.css:
        - "%kernel.project_dir%/vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap.css"

Lets have a look at this configurationfile (config/packages/assets.yml):

asset_publisher:
    assets:
        publicpath: "%kernel.project_dir%/web/assets"
        sources:
            # symlink: the folder "pictures" will be symlinked to web/assets/images
            images:
                - "%kernel.project_dir%/app/Resources/Views/pictures"
            # merge: asset-source are multiple files, all files will be merged into "web/assets/style.css"
            styles.css:
                - "%kernel.project_dir%/web/libs/library/extern-js/jquery-ui/jquery.tooltip.css"
                - "%kernel.project_dir%/web/libs/library/extern-js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css"
            # copy: asset-source is a single file and will be copied to web/assets/js-tree.min.css
            js-tree.min.css:
                - "%kernel.project_dir%/web/libs/library/extern-js/jstree/themes/default/style.min.css"
