assets

Collection of web assets for reuse in other projects. The main goal of all of this, it's making to possible import and reuse CSS and JS code for usual CSS and JS files, without any of something like Sass for CSS or NodeJs for JS, just simple CSS/JS and unix utilites. Additionaly yui-compressor utility is used for files minification. It's used by default and don't works without yui-compressor but you can modify makefile assets.makefile and remove --check-yui-compressor target everywhere

How to use

Install yui-compressor tool:

sudo apt-get install yui-compressor

Include to your main makefile:

.assets.makefile:
    curl -fsSL -o $@ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vladimirok5959/assets/main/assets.makefile

include .assets.makefile

Add to gitignore file:

/.cache/
.*.makefile
assets.sh

Keep your CSS and JS files with *.dev.css and *.dev.js suffix. Run make assets command to process all finded files starting recursively from your makefile (root project) directory

You can include CSS/JS local files or CSS/JS file from internet into local file by import() command inside CSS/JS file. Check /test/ directory and /test/test.dev.css file. For example:

/* import(https://path/to/file/reset.css) */
/* import(https://path/to/file/controls/checkbox/ios.css) */

/* import(./local-file.css) */
/* import(./another/local-file.css) */

.example {
    background-color: red;
}

In the result you will get combined and minified CSS file without .dev. suffix. And the same works for JS files. Note: for reducing http requests /.cache/ directory is used. Run make assets-clear-cache to clear cached files
