Re: Assets Helper

I never thought to look because app assets are precompiled/compressed during development, the helper was just a quick and simple solution for the time being. I'll be sure to clone a copy and have a look, thanks Mark.

Every so often I find it necessary to overwrite certain styles or implement styles or js functionality specific to certain pages in my app. For some projects my app application-wide stylesheets and js can get really big really fast and I find it more manageable to break them down into smaller files and only call them when needed. I put together a really simple Asset Helper that replaces my Html->css and Html->script and incorporates the assets based on controller/actions. The comment was made recently that it was a really bad idea and would create issues as the app grows larger and traffic to the app increases. They didn't elaborate on the comment so now it leaves me wondering.

I can't see where it would create any issues to speak of. My css and js directories contain a fair amount of files but is still extremely small by comparison so I don't really see any type of significant performance hit. Am I overlooking something here?

// AssetHelper.php

App::uses('AppHelper', 'View/Helper');

App::uses('Folder', 'Utility');

    

    Class AssetHelper extends AppHelper{

        

        public $helpers = array('Html');

        

        public function css($css_array = null){

            

            $css = new Folder(WWW_ROOT . 'css');

            $css_files = $css->find('.*\.css');

            

            if ($this->params['controller'] == 'pages'){

                $file = "pages_{$this->params['pass'][0]}";

            } else {

                $file = $this->params['controller'].'_'.$this->params['action']; 

            }

            

            if (in_array($file.'.css', $css_files)){

                array_push($css_array, $file);

            }

            

            return $this->Html->css($css_array);

        }

        

        public function js($js_array = null){

            

            $js = new Folder(WWW_ROOT . 'js');

            $js_files = $js->find('.*\.js');    

            

            if ($this->params['controller'] == 'pages'){

                $file = "pages_{$this->params['pass'][0]}";

            } else {

                $file = $this->params['controller'].'_'.$this->params['action']; 

            }

            

            if (in_array($file.'.js', $js_files)){

                array_push($js_array, $file);

            }

            

            return $this->Html->script($js_array);

        }

        

    }
