• PHP 5.3 + Symfony2
• MongoDB + Doctrine MongoDB ODM
• MySQL + Doctrine2 ORM
• Less CSS
• jQuery
Agenda
• !(straw man)
• Assetic
• Twig, Symfony2 integration
If you haven’t optimized your frontend, you haven’t optimized
A poorly optimized frontendcan destroy UX
…and SEO

Get your assets in line.
Asset Management
Lots of awesome tools:
Lots of awesome tools:• CoffeeScript
• Compass Framework

• Google Closure Compiler
• JSMin
• LESS
• Packer
• SASS
• Sprockets
• Stylus
• YUI Compressor
The ones written in PHP…

This is a difficult problem
Assetic makes it easy
Enough talk
# /path/to/web/js/core.php
$core = new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js');$core->load();
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
# /path/to/web/js/core.php
$core = new AssetCollection(array( new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js'), new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),));$core->load();
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
# /path/to/web/js/core.php
$core = new AssetCollection(array( new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js'), new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),));$core->load();
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
Merge many files into one == fewer HTTP requests
# /path/to/web/js/core.php
$core = new AssetCollection(array( new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js'), new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),), array( new YuiCompressorJsFilter('/path/to/yui.jar'),));$core->load();
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
# /path/to/web/js/core.php
$core = new AssetCollection(array( new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js'), new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),), array( new YuiCompressorJsFilter('/path/to/yui.jar'),));$core->load();
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
Compress the merged asset == less data over the wire
<script src="js/core.php"></script>
Assetic isAssets & Filters
Inspired by Python’s webassets
https://github.com/miracle2k/webassets
Assets have lazy, mutable content
Filters act on asset contents during “load” and “dump”
Assets can be gathered in collections
A collection is an asset

header('Content-Type: text/css');echo $styles->dump();
# /path/to/web/css/styles.php
$styles = new AssetCollection(array( new AssetCollection( array(new FileAsset('/path/to/main.sass')), array(new SassFilter()) ), new FileAsset('/path/to/more.css'),));
header('Content-Type: text/css');echo $styles->dump();
# /path/to/web/css/styles.php
$styles = new AssetCollection(array( new AssetCollection( array(new FileAsset('/path/to/main.sass')), array(new SassFilter()) ), new FileAsset('/path/to/more.css'),), array( new YuiCompressorCss('/path/to/yui.jar'),));
header('Content-Type: text/css');echo $styles->dump();

header('Content-Type: text/css');echo $styles->dump();
Lazy! The filesystem isn't touched until now
Basic Asset Classes
• AssetCollection
• AssetReference
• FileAsset
• GlobAsset
• StringAsset
Core Filter Classes• CallablesFilter
• CoffeeScriptFilter
• CssRewriteFilter
• GoogleClosure\CompilerApiFilter
• GoogleClosure\CompilerJarFilter
• LessFilter
• Sass\SassFilter
• Sass\ScssFilter
• SprocketsFilter
• StylusFilter
• Yui\CssCompressorFilter
• Yui\JsCompressorFilter
• More to come…
Asset Manager
$am = new AssetManager();$am->set('jquery', new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.js'));
$plugin = new AssetCollection(array( new AssetReference($am, 'jquery'), new FileAsset('/path/to/jquery.plugin.js'),));
$core = new AssetCollection(array( $jquery, $plugin1, $plugin2,));
header('text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
$core = new AssetCollection(array( $jquery, $plugin1, $plugin2,));
header('text/javascript');echo $core->dump();
jQuery will only be included once
Filter Manager
$yui = new YuiCompressorJs();$yui->setNomunge(true);
$fm = new FilterManager();$fm->set('yui_js', $yui);
$jquery = new FileAsset('/path/to/core.js');$jquery->ensureFilter($fm->get('yui_js'));
$core = new AssetCollection(array( $jquery, new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),));$core->ensureFilter($fm->get('yui_js'));
$jquery = new FileAsset('/path/to/core.js');$jquery->ensureFilter($fm->get('yui_js'));
$core = new AssetCollection(array( $jquery, new GlobAsset('/path/to/js/core/*.js'),));$core->ensureFilter($fm->get('yui_js'));
jQuery will only be compressed once
Asset Factory
# /path/to/asset_factory.php
$fm = new FilterManager();$fm->set('coffee', new CoffeeScriptFilter());$fm->set('closure', new GoogleClosure\CompilerApi());
$factory = new AssetFactory('/path/to/web');$factory->setFilterManager($fm);
include '/path/to/asset_factory.php';
$asset = $factory->createAsset( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', 'closure'));
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $asset->dump();
Debug Mode
Debugging compressedJavascript sucks
Mark filters for omissionin debug mode using a “?”
// new AssetFactory('/path/to/web', true);
include '/path/to/asset_factory.php';
$asset = $factory->createAsset( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', 'closure'));
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $asset->dump();
// new AssetFactory('/path/to/web', true);
include '/path/to/asset_factory.php';
$asset = $factory->createAsset( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', '?closure'));
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $asset->dump();
// new AssetFactory('/path/to/web', false);
include '/path/to/asset_factory.php';
$asset = $factory->createAsset( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', '?closure'), array('debug' => true));
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $asset->dump();
Factory Workers
Everything passes through the workers’ hands
$worker = new EnsureFilterWorker( '/\.css$/', // the output pattern $fm->get('yui_css') // the filter);
$factory = new AssetFactory('/path/to/web');$factory->addWorker($worker);
// compressed$factory->createAsset('css/sass/*', 'sass', array( 'output' => 'css/*.css',));
Good: Basic Caching
# /path/to/web/css/styles.php
$styles = new AssetCollection( array(new FileAsset('/path/to/main.sass')), array(new SassFilter()));
echo $styles->dump();
# /path/to/web/css/styles.php
$styles = new AssetCache(new AssetCollection( array(new FileAsset('/path/to/main.sass')), array(new SassFilter())), new FilesystemCache('/path/to/cache'));
echo $styles->dump();
# /path/to/web/css/styles.php
$styles = new AssetCache(new AssetCollection( array(new FileAsset('/path/to/main.sass')), array(new SassFilter())), new FilesystemCache('/path/to/cache'));
echo $styles->dump();
Run the filters once and cache the content
Better: HTTP Caching
// $core = new AssetCache(...
$mtime = gmdate('D, d M y H:i:s', $core->getLastModified()).' GMT';
if ($mtime == $_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']) { header('HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified'); exit();}
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');header('Last-Modified: '.$mtime);echo $core->dump();
Best: Static Assets
# /path/to/scripts/dump_assets.php
$am = new AssetManager();$am->set('foo', $foo);// etc...
$writer = new AssetWriter('/path/to/web');$writer->writeManagerAssets($am);
Best-est:Content Distribution Network
new AssetWriter('s3://my-bucket')
new AssetWriter('s3://my-bucket')
A CloudFront S3 bucket
Not Lazy Enough?
Asset Formulae and theLazy Asset Manager
$asset = $factory->createAsset( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', '?closure'), array('output' => 'js/*.js'));
$formula = array( array('js/src/*.coffee'), array('coffee', '?closure'), array('output' => 'js/*.js'));
$am = new LazyAssetManager($factory);$am->setFormula('core_js', $formula);
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');echo $am->get('core_js')->dump();
This will make more sensein a few minutes…
Thought…Assets are a part of the view layer
and should be defined there.
<!-- header.php -->
<?php foreach (assetic_javascripts( array('js/core.js', 'js/more.js'), array('?yui_js')) as $url): ?>
<script src="<?php echo $url ?>"></script>
<?php endforeach; ?>
# config/assetic.php
require_once '/path/to/assetic/functions.php';assetic_init($factory);
Issue…Assets defined in the view layer must actually exist somewhere
Option Bad...Lazily dump assets to the
web directory
Option Good…Eagerly dump assets to the
web directory
Formula Loaders
$loader = new FunctionCallsFormulaLoader();$resource = new DirectoryResource( '/path/to/templates', '/\.php$/');
$formulae = $loader->load($resource);
$am = new LazyAssetManager($factory);$am->setLoader('php', $loader);$am->addResource($resource, 'php');
$writer = new AssetWriter('/path/to/web');$writer->writeManagerAssets($am);
$am = new LazyAssetManager($factory);$am->setLoader('php', $loader);$am->addResource($resource, 'php');
$writer = new AssetWriter('/path/to/web');$writer->writeManagerAssets($am);
Expensive every time
$cache = new ConfigCache('/path/to/cache');
$loader = new CachedFormulaLoader( $loader, $cache, $debug);
Twig Integration
$twig->addExtension(new AsseticExtension($factory));
{% assetic 'js/*.coffee', filter='coffee' %}<script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>{% endassetic %}
<script src="assets/92429d8"></script>
{% assetic 'js/*.coffee', filter='coffee' %}<script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>{% endassetic %}
{% assetic 'js/*.coffee', filter='coffee', output='js/*.js' %}<script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>{% endassetic %}
<script src="js/92429d8.js"></script>
{% assetic 'js/*.coffee', filter='coffee', output='js/*.js' %}<script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>{% endassetic %}
{% assetic 'js/*.coffee', filter='coffee,?closure', output='js/*.js', name='core_js' %}<script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>{% endassetic %}
AsseticBundleSymfony2 integration
{% assetic filter='scss,?yui_css', output='css/all.css', '@MainBundle/Resources/sass/main.scss', '@AnotherBundle/Resources/sass/more.scss' %}<link href="{{ asset_url }}" rel="stylesheet" />{% endassetic %}
<link href="css/all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
{% assetic filter='scss,?yui_css', output='css/all.css', '@MainBundle/Resources/sass/main.scss', '@AnotherBundle/Resources/sass/more.scss' %}<link href="{{ asset_url }}" rel="stylesheet" />{% endassetic %}
{% assetic filter='scss,?yui_css', output='css/all.css', '@MainBundle/Resources/sass/main.scss', debug=true, '@AnotherBundle/Resources/sass/more.scss' %}<link href="{{ asset_url }}" rel="stylesheet" />{% endassetic %}
<link href="css/all_part1.css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="css/all_part2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="css/all_part1.css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="css/all_part2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Each "leaf" asset is referenced individually
Configuration
