imgjss Laravel Package

Imgjss is a simple Laravel 4 package that provides handy way of including assets into your .blade.php files. Now you can use HTML::style(), HTML::script() and HTML::image() via short Blade syntax.

Features

Avoid putting extensions of js & css files, package adds it automatically:

@js('js/jquery.js')

same as:

@js('js/jquery')

But as for images, you should use file extensions:

@img('uploads/cat.jpg')

Pass attributes array as second parameter:

@css('css/print', ['media' => 'print'])

By default package automatically appends last modified timestamp of the file as query string. You can change/disable this behavior in config file or simply pass true/false as third parameter:

@js('js/translations', ['charset' => 'utf-8'], false) // disabled timestamp appending

When using Laravel's HTML::image() you pass alt attribute as second param, and other attributes as third. I think that is not good idea. Using @img syntax this package provides you can pass all in one array:

@img('img/logo.png', ['alt' => 'Alternative text', 'class' => 'brand-logo'])

Fourth parameter is for including asset from secure location of your website, e.g. https://.... Its false by default.

And lastly, please notice that package doesn't throw NotFoundException when asset wasn't exist.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4
• Laravel >= 4.0

Installation

• The Imgjss package can be installed via Composer by requiring the elvendor/imgjss in your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.*",
        "elvendor/imgjss": "0.*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

• Add Service Provider to providers list:

'providers' => [
  // ...
  'Elvendor\Imgjss\ImgjssServiceProvider',
],

• If you plan to change package defaults, you can also publish config file:

php artisan config:publish elvendor/imgjss

Roadmap

• Avoid images extensions by looking for a file on given path (probably not a good idea)
• Setting default js, css, img paths
• Ability to use external assets as well
• Cover with tests
