Description

Given an array of file paths for JavaScript or CSS files, this tag will concatenate all the files into one, run it through YUI Compressor for minification, optionally GZip compress it, write the result to disk in the specified location, and return an HTML <link> or <script> tag pointing to the file. The file is named with a checksum based on the files' paths and modification dates, and the tag will look for a matching file first before doing any further processing, essentially caching the results. Requires several other tags: [shell], [yui_compress], [url_normalize], [css_normalizeurls], and [compress_gzip].

Sample Usage

var('mystyles') = array(
    '/styles/foo.css',
    '/styles/bar.css',
    '/styles/baz.css'
);

cache_assets(
    $mystyles,
    -target='/styles/cache/',
    -usecache=true,
    -refresh=false,
    -minify=true,
    -compress=false
);
