Glorpen AsseticCompassConnector

The better Compass integration for your PHP project.

For forking and other funnies:

• https://bitbucket.org/glorpen/asseticcompassconnector
• https://github.com/glorpen/AsseticCompassConnector

What problems is it solving?

This Assetic filter:

• provides a way to closely integrate Compass with any framework - you just have to write simple Resolver for your project
• adds bundle/plugins/package namespace for compass files - so you can do cross-plugin imports or use assets from other packages
  • ... and it could enable distributing bundles with Compass assets
• your Resolver provides required files - so it can support any project structure
• assets recompiling/updating when any of its dependencies are modified - be it another import, inlined font file or just width: image-width(@SomeBundle:public/myimage.png);

Available Resolvers

• Symfony2 - https://bitbucket.org/glorpen/glorpencompassconnectorbundle

How to install

• first, you need to install ruby connector gem:

gem install compass-connector

• add requirements to composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "glorpen/assetic-compass-connector": "*"
    }
}

Virtual Paths

There are four kinds of "paths":

• app: looks like @MyBundle:public/images/asset.png
• absolute path: starts with single /, should only be used in resolving on-disk file and url prefixing, it is always a public file
• vendor: a relative path, should be used only by compass plugins (eg. zurb-foundation, blueprint)
• absolute path: starts with //, http:// etc. and will NOT be changed by connector

Some examples:

@import "@SomeBundle:scss/settings"; /* will resolve to src/SomeBundle/Resources/scss/_settings.scss */
@import "foundation"; /* will include foundation scss from your compass instalation */

width: image-size("@SomeBundle:public/images/my.png"); /* will output image size of SomeBundle/Resources/public/images/my.png */
background-image: image-url("@SomeBundle:public/images/my.png"); /* will generate url with prefixes given by Symfony2 config */
@import "@SomeBundle:sprites/*.png"; /* will import sprites located in src/SomeBundle/Resources/sprites/ */

Usage

This filter's Assetic name is compass_connector.

You can compile assets as in any Assetic filter:

<?php
   use Glorpen\Assetic\CompassConnectorFilter\Filter;
   use Glorpen\Assetic\CompassConnectorFilter\Resolver\SimpleResolver;
   use Assetic\Asset\AssetCollection;
   use Assetic\Asset\FileAsset;

   $resolver = new SimpleResolver(
         "ResourcesDir/", "outputDir/"
   );

   $f = new Filter($resolver, 'path/to/cache', 'path/to/compass/bin');
   $f->setPlugins(array("zurb-foundation")); //or array("zurb-foundation"=>">4")
   $f->addImport('/path/to/some/scss/dir'); //and then @import "scss_in_some_dir";

   $css = new AssetCollection(array(
         new FileAsset('path/to/file.scss'),
   ), array( $f ));
