Asset manager for Laravel 4 using the power of Grunt.

Goez Laravel 4 + Grunt Asset Workflow

This package is no long being maintained!! Since discovering the Gulp task runner, and finding how easy it is to install, setup and use I've opted to drop GruntJS from my workflow.

Features

• Includes Compass, RequireJS. (References to generator-webapp of Yeoman.)
• Helper for Laravel View.

Installation

1. Add the following line to your composer.json "require-dev" array:

   "goez/laravel-grunt": "dev-master"

2. Run composer update --dev in your terminal.

3. Add the following line to the end of you app/config.php "providers array":

   'Goez\LaravelGrunt\LaravelGruntServiceProvider',

4. Run the following command to add the configuration file to your app/config/packages directory:

   php artisan grunt:config

5. You can configure the path of assets, and published files. This configuration file is located in your project's config directory, as below:

   • app/config/packages/goez/laravel-grunt/config.php
   • app/config/packages/goez/laravel-grunt/local/config.php

6. Finally, run the following command to generate all metadata files and install packages in your app:

   php artisan grunt:setup

Note 1: You can edit the package.json, bower.json, Grunfile.js directly after they are generated.

Note 2: You must rerun grunt:config and grunt:setup after you update this package with composer.

Commands

You can use bower and grunt command to manage your assets.

• bower to list all commands of Bower.
• grunt --help to list all commands of Grunt.

Assets in view template

You can use the 'grunt_asset' helper to get asset url. Here are examples on blade template:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ grunt_asset('styles/hello.css') }}"/>
<script src="{{ grunt_asset('styles/hello.css') }}"></script>

or:

{{ HTML::style(grunt_asset('scripts/hello.js')) }}
{{ HTML::script(grunt_asset('scripts/hello.js')) }}
