Best Way To Handle View Assets - El Forum - 08-25-2014

I have a site and need to minify all the js & css. What is the BEST way to do that with CI? I have found several solutions and CI_Assetic seems to be the best to me. I wanted to get opinions.
Thanks

Would seem to advertise myself, but please do try the library I've worked on: https://github.com/avenirer/Assetor
At least tell me your opinion. Thank you very much.

@Avenirer
Add LESS compiler and you will beat them all. Your work is interesting.

Thank you for the input, @ivantcholakov
Just made an update to the library that will compile less files using leafo lessphp.

http://lessphp.gpeasy.com/ This I think is better supported.
I abandoned leafo lessphp about (less than) a year ago, it was buggy and fixes were not fast enough.

Indeed, any choosing in a dependency is a risk. But looking at both of them, in terms of staring, following, issues, downloads, I think Leafo won. Do you think that it would be a better idea to let the users set in the config what compiler to choose?

If you like Leafo's solution, if you already have the implementation, so be it. It is better you to make the choice about the dependency, you are more informed, you will gather the feedback. Configurable dependency seems to me a complication.

I use Crunch Less Compiler on my Windows System, it uses Adobe air.

We are putting in CI_Assetic and going to use minify filter. I will let you know how it goes.
