Something similar to Laravel Mix, (But without webpack/node involved, only PHP if possible) where one could load various JS/CSS files and compile it into a single minified file inside the public directory. Thus making Codeigniter a more fullstack framework.
Sorry, but I think your idea is unsuccessful.
Because there are already many powerful and popular css/js tools for nodejs. And the implementation in php of a small part is a big and useless work.
If you have the time and knowledge, then you can create a package with a set of php tools for working with css/js and ask to include it in the framework as a third-party library.
