Public folder and assets for each module

Hey guys. Have the next problem.
I have several projects on my CMF based on CI4, I want to reconfigure it so that the root is in public as specified in the documentation.
But the problem is that my CMF consists of modules (./modules), in which each module has its own assets folder (./modules/Test/Assets/jquery.min.js).
I tried to switch the loading of these files through the php controller, but even on a local server there is a big delay. In Assets are: stylesheet, javascript, images.
So when i switching to ./public as root folder, i can't access my modules assets..

why too many public folders while all modules can use <link rel="stylesheet" herf="<?=base_url('assets/css.min.css')?> >

It's only because to create autonomous module system (only for admin system), so for example each module stores their own assets. I think i need something like on pyrocms assets manager (cache), maybe codeigniter 4 have something like that?

i think you may study this tool; it may help you enough It is for c4+

or do like

PHP Code:

// app/Helpers/asset_helper.php
if (! function_exists('module_asset')) {
    function module_asset(string $module, string $path): string
    {
        return base_url("modules/{$module}/assets/{$path}");
    }
} 


app/Config/Routes.php

PHP Code:

$routes->get('modules/(:segment)/assets/(:any)', function ($module, $path) {
    $fullPath = APPPATH . "Modules/{$module}/Assets/{$path}";

    if (! file_exists($fullPath)) {
        throw new \CodeIgniter\Exceptions\PageNotFoundException($path);
    }

    $mime = mime_content_type($fullPath); // Get the correct MIME type

    header('Content-Type: ' . $mime); // Set the correct header

    readfile($fullPath); // Output the file
    exit;
}); 


usage

PHP Code:

// In app/Modules/Users/Views/users/profile.php
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?= module_asset('Users', 'css/users.css') ?>">
<script src="<?= module_asset('Users', 'js/users.js') ?>"></script>
<img src="<?= module_asset('Users', 'images/user_profile.jpg') ?>" alt="User Profile">

// In app/Modules/Products/Views/products/list.php
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?= module_asset('Products', 'css/products.css') ?>"> 


for cahing

PHP Code:

if (! function_exists('module_asset')) {
    function module_asset(string $module, string $path): string
    {
        $cachePath = WRITEPATH . "cache/assets/{$module}/{$path}";
        $fullPath = APPPATH . "Modules/{$module}/Assets/{$path}";

        if (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production' || ! file_exists($cachePath) || filemtime($fullPath) > filemtime($cachePath)) { // Check if cache exists and is up-to-date
            if (! file_exists(dirname($cachePath))) { // Create directory if not exists
                mkdir(dirname($cachePath), 0777, true);
            }
            if(file_exists($fullPath)){
                copy($fullPath, $cachePath); // Create cache if not exists or is older
            }
        }

        return base_url("modules/cache/{$module}/{$path}"); // Serve from the cache
    }
} 


PHP Code:

$routes->get('modules/cache/(:segment)/(:any)', function ($module, $path) {
    $fullPath = WRITEPATH . "cache/assets/{$module}/{$path}"; // Serve from cache

    if (! file_exists($fullPath)) {
        throw new \CodeIgniter\Exceptions\PageNotFoundException($path);
    }

    $mime = mime_content_type($fullPath);

    header('Content-Type: ' . $mime);

    readfile($fullPath);
    exit;
});

Hey. About bonfire, i know this tool, but for me it very big, like fat cow, thats why i wrote my own CMF based on CI4.

About response – very nice idea, so i can create a spark command for clean cache + create caches.

But i don't understand, for development mode, how you can attach that files? Because all other files in the upper level then ./public. For example in development mode you need to include ./modules/Admin/TestModule/Assets/img/test-gif.svg, how you can do this? Each time check file for change time and copy like?:

copy($fullPath, $cachePath); // Create cache if not exists or is older

Will this put a load on my server? Because i trying to use readfile, as your last example – and simple empty page on the admin panel without calculating something – loading very slow (before readfile 2s, after – almost 5s)
