README

Statika is a file manager for the static files of your projects. It uses 3rd-party compressors/minifiers to combine and compress your CSS/JS files, reduce filesize and increase versions automatically.

Project Config

The config file describes various things like the compressor(s) you wish to use, versioning or the filesets. You can find a config template in the conf/ folder of this project.

Available Compressors

Statika currently supports these compressors:

• Google Closure Compiler (closure) - JS only ( via binary )
• UglifyJS (uglifyjs) - JS only ( via webservice )
• YUI Compressor (yui) - JS & CSS ( via binary )

Available Version Types

You can specify the output name for each fileset. For now, there are 2 types of versioning. Each time you compress a config, Statika will check if there is a previous minified version and automatically increase the version. (e.g. 0001 becomes 0002 ).

• Numbers {version|nr} (e.g. test.min.0001.js)
• MD5 {version|md5} (e.g. test.min.098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6.js)

Getting Started

First of all you have to install the project dependencies via Composer using the following command:

$ composer install

If that´s completed, make sure that the file paths for the binary compressors/minifiers in the src/config.php are correct.

There are two ways using Statika:

• Run from source
• Compile the source (create a phar archive) - if you´d like to use Statika globally

Run from source

To run Statika from source, use the following command:

$ ./bin/statika <command>

Compile the source

To compile the PHP Archive ( PHAR ) with the following command:

$ ./bin/compile

If you´d like to use Statika globally, move the compiled file (statika.phar) to your bin dir, e.g. /usr/local/bin/statika, and set the proper file modes using:

$ sudo mv bin/statika.phar /usr/local/bin/statika
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/statika

Usage

To validate a defined config:

$ statika validate /path/to/config.json

To compress a defined config:

$ statika compress /path/to/config.json
