CAssetManager is a Web application component that manages private files (called assets) and makes them accessible by Web clients.

It achieves this goal by copying assets to a Web-accessible directory and returns the corresponding URL for accessing them.

To publish an asset, simply call publish().

The Web-accessible directory holding the published files is specified by basePath, which defaults to the "assets" directory under the directory containing the application entry script file. The property baseUrl refers to the URL for accessing the basePath.

Property Details

basePath property

public string getBasePath()
public void setBasePath(string $value)

the root directory storing the published asset files

baseUrl property

public string getBaseUrl()
public void setBaseUrl(string $value)

the base url that the published asset files can be accessed. Note, the ending slashes are stripped off.

Method Details

getBasePath() method

public string getBasePath()
{return}	string	the root directory storing the published asset files

getBaseUrl() method

public string getBaseUrl()
{return}	string	the base url that the published asset files can be accessed. Note, the ending slashes are stripped off.

getPublishedPath() method

public string getPublishedPath(string $path, boolean $hashByName=false)
$path	string	directory or file path being published
$hashByName	boolean	whether the published directory should be named as the hashed basename. If false, the name will be the hashed dirname of the path being published. Defaults to false. Set true if the path being published is shared among different extensions.
{return}	string	the published file path. False if the file or directory does not exist

Returns the published path of a file path. This method does not perform any publishing. It merely tells you if the file or directory is published, where it will go.

getPublishedUrl() method

public string getPublishedUrl(string $path, boolean $hashByName=false)
$path	string	directory or file path being published
$hashByName	boolean	whether the published directory should be named as the hashed basename. If false, the name will be the hashed dirname of the path being published. Defaults to false. Set true if the path being published is shared among different extensions.
{return}	string	the published URL for the file or directory. False if the file or directory does not exist.

Returns the URL of a published file path. This method does not perform any publishing. It merely tells you if the file path is published, what the URL will be to access it.

hash() method

protected string hash(string $path)
$path	string	string to be hashed.
{return}	string	hashed string.

Generate a CRC32 hash for the directory path. Collisions are higher than MD5 but generates a much smaller hash string.

init() method

public void init()

Initializes the application component. This method is required by IApplicationComponent and is invoked by application.

publish() method

public string publish(string $path, boolean $hashByName=false, integer $level=-1, boolean $forceCopy=false)
$path	string	the asset (file or directory) to be published
$hashByName	boolean	whether the published directory should be named as the hashed basename. If false, the name will be the hashed dirname of the path being published. Defaults to false. Set true if the path being published is shared among different extensions.
$level	integer	level of recursive copying when the asset is a directory. Level -1 means publishing all subdirectories and files; Level 0 means publishing only the files DIRECTLY under the directory; level N means copying those directories that are within N levels.
$forceCopy	boolean	whether we should copy the asset file or directory even if it is already published before. This parameter is set true mainly during development stage when the original assets are being constantly changed. The consequence is that the performance is degraded, which is not a concern during development, however. This parameter has been available since version 1.1.2.
{return}	string	an absolute URL to the published asset

Publishes a file or a directory. This method will copy the specified asset to a web accessible directory and return the URL for accessing the published asset.

If the asset is a file, its file modification time will be checked to avoid unnecessary file copying;
If the asset is a directory, all files and subdirectories under it will be published recursively. Note, in this case the method only checks the existence of the target directory to avoid repetitive copying.

setBasePath() method

public void setBasePath(string $value)
$value	string	the root directory storing published asset files

Sets the root directory storing published asset files.

setBaseUrl() method

public void setBaseUrl(string $value)
$value	string	the base url that the published asset files can be accessed
