Compiling Assets

The assets compiling process can start in two ways:

• automatically, after each composer install / composer update
• manually, via the custom composer compile-assets command the plugin provides.

Auto-run

To enable “auto-run”, it is necessary to use in package configuration an auto-run setting:

{
   "name": "acme/some-theme",
   "extra": {
      "composer-asset-compiler": {
         "auto-run": true
      }
   }
}

The configuration only takes effect when used in the root Composer package.

Enable the plugin

Composer Assets Compiler is a Composer plugin. As of Composer 2.2, plugins must be enabled to be used. Please remember to enable inpsyde/composer-assets-compiler plugin in root package’s composer.json:

{
  "config": {
    "allow-plugins": {
      "inpsyde/composer-assets-compiler": true
    }
  }
}
