WP Assets

This is a must-use plugin used via composer, plugin activation not required.

Usage

Call function frc_asset($file). For example:

wp_enqueue_style('styles', frc_asset('styles/main.css'));

Available methods:

• frc_asset($file)->uri()
• frc_asset($file)->path()
• frc_asset($file)->exists()
• frc_asset($file)->notExists()
• frc_asset($file)->contents()

Casting frc_asset($file) to a string will return asset's URI.

Optional configuration using add_theme_support function.

add_theme_support('frc-assets', [
    'root' => 'asset', // Root folder name for distributed assets
    'file' => 'assets.json', // Assetmanifest's file name
    'path' => get_theme_file_path('<root>'), // Full path to root folder
    'uri' => get_theme_file_uri("<roo>"), // Full URI to root folder
    'manifest' => '<path>/<file>', // Full path to manifest file
    'addHashToFilename' => false, // If using laravel mix you can opt to use the hash from query string in filename and get better caching from cdn's and nginx
]);

If using 'addHashToFilename' the manifest file should be in the following format with hash length of 20.

{
    "/scripts/main.js": "/scripts/main.js?id=a91004e635bd357e16e6"
}

And you should have the following in you nginx.conf this strips the added "hash.a91004e635bd357e16e6" from the filename when a request is made

location ~ "^(.+)(hash\.[0-9a-f]{20})\.(js|css|ttf|eot|woff2?|png|jpe?g|gif|svg|ico)$" {
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
    expires 10y;
    try_files $uri $1$3 =404;
    access_log off;
}

all of these work..
/GET /scripts/main.hash.a91004e635bd357e16e6.js => /scripts/main.js
/GET /scripts/main.a91004e635bd357e16e6.js => /scripts/main.a91004e635bd357e16e6.js
/GET /scripts/main.hash.js => /scripts/main.hash.js
/GET /scripts/main.js => /scripts/main.js
