CodeIgniter Simple Assets

This will be the most simple asset helper you have ever seen. It is a wrapper around CodeIgniter's base_url() function with the addition of an asset group parameter.

Installation

Copy the files to the corresponding folder in your application folder (or use spark).

Structure

In your root, create a folder called assets with this structure:

assets
-- css
-- img
-- js

If you would rather work with asset groups you can use the following structure:

assets
-- fancy
   -- css
   -- img
   -- js
-- mobile
   -- css
   -- img 
   -- js

Usage

This helper is loaded using the following code:

$this->load->helper('assets');

Or autoload it by adding 'assets' to the $autoload['helper'] array in the autoload.php file.

To get the url to your asset files you use the asset_url() function:

<img src="<?php echo asset_url('img/logo.jpg'); ?>" />

This will load logo.jpg from the assets/img/ directory. If you decided to split your assets in groups you can use the extra optional group parameter:

<img src="<?php echo asset_url('img/logo.jpg', 'mobile'); ?>" />
