[Question] How to serve file hash about assetmanager HOT 7 CLOSED

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea. I have never used that cache type
before (it's not optimal to do so). I'd recommend using the FilePathCache
type.

What I do know, is that it basically uses the hashes itself to find a
cache match. So you just use the key in stead of the hash name.

Of course i will use FilePathCache for production, but FilesystemCache is good for development, as it refresh assets automatically.

Maybe I should use aliases, but I didn't find any doc.

Just use the path you'd normally use, the hash key is used by the cache
itself.

OK for using FilePathCache in production.
There is just a problem with FilePathCache and FilesystemCache : say i have an asset css.foo.cs

The cache in production should be :

        'caching' => array(
            'default' => array(
                'cache' => 'FilePathCache',
                'options' => array(
                    'dir' => 'public',
                ),
            ),
        ),

then my file will be under public/css/foo.css

But if I change for FilesystemCache, the hashed file will be under public/1y23s4f5d6789.
This doesn't suits me.

Eventuallly, I would change the config for development :

        'caching' => array(
            'default' => array(
                'cache' => 'Filesystem',
                'options' => array(
                    'dir' => 'data/cache',
                ),
            ),
        ),

So in conclusion, I think that the cache configuration should go under config/autoload/asset_manager.local.php

The default .gitignore strategy will ignore this config and it will become environment-dependent.

It may be worth to say a word about this in the doc ?

We could do that. That might not be the worst idea :)

@jmleroux that's absolutely for config/autoload

from assetmanager.

The way I use this module, I split the config :

config/autoload/asset_manager.local.php essentialy for the cache configuration

assets.module.config.php in my modules, essentially for the resolvers : it's easier to set the paths for the module's assets from the module config path.
