Simple Assets Manager (Laravel 5.* Package)

Sam (short for Simple Assets Manager) is a library built for Laravel 5.*. It provides an easy way to add assets (usually stylesheet or javascript files) to the page after it has been rendered. Sam, by default, uses simple substr and stripos to inject content within the html page. You can override this behaviour binding a different instance to Canalaiz\Sam\Contracts\HtmlInjectEngine.

Installation

1. In order to install Sam, just add the following to your composer.json. Then run composer update:

"canalaiz/sam": "1.*"

2. Open your config/app.php and add the following to the providers array:

Canalaiz\Sam\SamServiceProvider::class,

3. In the same config/app.php and add the following to the aliases array:

'Sam'   => Canalaiz\Sam\Facades\Sam::class,

4. Remember to declare Sam Middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php in the generic $middleware array or within the $middlewareGroups array:

\Canalaiz\Sam\Middleware\Sam::class,

Usage

You can use Sam in every context you like, since the injection happens after views are rendered and before the html is sent to the browser. The only requirement is to put the use statement:

use Sam;

Css

Css can be appended within document in two different ways: normal and inline. An optional minify parameter can be passed as second argument to request css minifying. This parameter defaults to false on Sam::pushCss and true to Sam::pushInlineCss. Minified assets are downloaded first and then served locally.

Css-Normal

The following command appends a stylesheet tag declaration before the closing of the HEAD tag:

Sam::pushCss('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css');

If you need to minify the asset, use this command:

Sam::pushCss('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css', true);

Css-Inline

The following command appends a stylesheet tag declaration before the closing of the HEAD tag, but content of original source url will be directly injected in the html within a tag:

Sam::pushInlineCss('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css');

Javascript

Javascript can be appended within document in two different ways: normal and inline. An optional minify parameter can be passed as second argument to request css minifying. This parameter defaults to false on Sam::pushJs and true to Sam::pushInlineJs. Minified assets are downloaded first and then served locally.

Javascript-Normal

The following command appends a script tag declaration before the closing of the BODY tag:

Sam::pushJs('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js');

If you need to minify the asset, use this command:

Sam::pushJs('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js', true);

Javascript-Inline

The following command appends a script tag declaration before the closing of the BODY tag, but content of original source url will be directly injected in the html within a tag:

Sam::pushInlineJs('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js');

Placeholder

A placeholder is an html comment in the format: <!--PLACEHOLDER-->. The following command prepends an html block before a specific placeholder:

Sam::pushPlaceholder('PLACEHOLDER', '<div>Hello from Sam!</div>');

Tag

The following command appends an html block before the closing of a specific tag.

Sam::pushTag('body', '<div>Hello from Sam!</div>');
