Assetic is an asset management framework for PHP 5.3. Assetic enables you to |

application's Javascripts, stylesheets and images. |

How Do I Use Assetic? |
| 9 |
--------------------- |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There are two distinct approaches you can take when using Assetic: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1. Build, dump and output assets in PHP files that you reference directly |
| 14 |
from your templates |
| 15 |
2. Defining assets in your templates ("on the fly") and use a loader to |
| 16 |
extract, dump and output them |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The first approach is simpler, but the second, with all its moving parts, |
| 19 |
offers more flexibility and opportunity for optimization. |
