Download the PHP package sympress/asset-compiler without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package sympress/asset-compiler. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package asset-compiler

SymPress Asset Compiler

Checks Release PHP Downloads

SymPress Asset Compiler is a Composer 2 plugin for building frontend assets in PHP package workspaces. It is designed for SymPress and WordPress projects that install plugins, themes, or kernel packages through Composer and want one predictable command for dependency installation, asset compilation, and build-lock handling.

The plugin keeps Composer integration small and moves the actual work into focused services for configuration, package discovery, package-manager resolution, hashing, locking, and process execution.

Requirements

Installation

Require the package in the root project and allow the Composer plugin:

For monorepos or path repositories, use the package version strategy of the root project.

Commands

Compile assets for discovered packages:

Print the current build hash for discovered packages:

Print package metadata for external tooling:

Run the local quality gate used by this package:

Useful compile options:

See Commands for the full command reference.

Root Configuration

Root configuration can be as small as enabling auto-run:

When no package build config is present, packages with a package.json build script are compiled with dependency installation enabled. Source and config files used for build hashes are discovered automatically from common frontend files and directories. The root package-manager is a project preference: package-level config, package.json packageManager, and unambiguous lock files still win per package. If nothing can be resolved, npm is the final fallback because it ships with Node.js. Invalid package-manager names fail early.

See Configuration for all supported keys and mode handling.

Package Configuration

Individual packages can opt in or override defaults through their own Composer extra section. The short form is enough for most packages:

Use the object form only when a package needs custom behavior:

Packages that need a different package manager can also declare it in package.json, for example "packageManager": "[email protected]". When a package has conflicting lock files, the root preference is used unless package config or packageManager makes the choice explicit. Without a root preference, npm is used.

Packages may also move their build config into asset-compiler.json or assets-compiler.json in the package root when the root project explicitly enables package config files. The file contains the same object that would otherwise live under Composer extra.sympress.asset-compiler.

Precompiled Assets

Packages can restore ZIP archives instead of building locally. This is useful for production installs, CI artifacts, and release packages:

Supported adapters are archive, zip, github-release, gh-release-zip, github-artifact, and gh-action-artifact. If precompiled assets are unavailable, the compiler falls back to the normal build. Security failures such as checksum mismatches, unsafe targets, unsafe ZIP entries, HTTP sources, or missing production checksums fail the run. Downloads use HTTPS-only requests and redirects, bounded timeouts, archive size limits, and ZIP extraction limits. GitHub tokens are only sent to trusted GitHub API/download hosts and are not forwarded to arbitrary redirect targets.

Build Locks

Every successful package build writes a package-local .sympress_asset_compiler.lock file. The lock stores the current build hash, so unchanged packages can be skipped on future runs. The hash includes the resolved package manager and toolchain versions, source inputs, build config, environment, and precompiled asset configuration.

Use --ignore-lock='*' to rebuild everything or --ignore-lock='vendor/package-*' to rebuild selected package patterns.
