Prefixing files with a content MD5, as a composer script.

• copy any file you want to a [content-md5]-original-file-name.ext file
• provide that filename to your app

• do anything else to your files (no minification, no nothing)

$ composer require easybib/asset-php 1.\*

The script exposes two composer "scripts" - EasyBib\\Asset::run and EasyBib\\Asset::clear. You'll also need to add the configuration to your composer.json.

For example:

    "config": {
        "asset": {
            "/js/main.js": {"from": "frontend/src", "to": "frontend/dist"},
            "/css/main.css": {"from": "web/css", "to": "web/css"}
        }
    },
    "scripts": {
        "build": "EasyBib\\Asset::run"
    },

The config.asset syntax is as follows:

    "the name you call Asset::path() with" => {from: "source directory", to: "target directory"}

You can choose other script names, of course. Composer also has some magic script names that it triggers automatically.

In your app, replace the path to the file with a call to EasyBib\Asset::path.

For example, with the above configuration, the following

    <script src="<?php EasyBib\\Asset::path('/js/main.js'); ?>"></script>

Will expand into

    <script src="/js/123abcdwhatever-main.js"></script>

once you ran composer build.

To make it fall-back to the source file, you can run EasyBib\Asset::clear(). But because of how the APC works in PHP, you'll have to run that from within the app (or at least using the same SAPI).
