Web development made simple

The first sfDynamicsPlugin beta is out!

After a long alpha development stage, I released this morning the first BETA version of sfDynamicsPlugin. But... You may wonder, what is that?

sfDynamicsPlugin is a flexible assets manager for symfony which can be used to manage javascript libraries and their associated stylesheets. It supports packing, and CSS minifying, while keeping the full readable source in development environment.

Finally out

After more than one year of thinkings about the right way to manage dependencies and relations between dynamic components, and a few months of intermitent coding, I'm proud to present sfDynamicsPlugin.

Look at the plugin's page at symfony project

Features at a glance:

  • JS framework agnostic
  • Built-in assets cache/supercache
  • Flexible XML configuration of packages
  • Dependencies/conflict management
  • Ease of use within plugins without repeating JS code
  • Built-in configuration for the most used frameworks including jQuery, jQuery UI, ExtJS, Prototype and Scriptaculous.

Use what you like

To give some more details about the last feature, those are bundled as non-default configuration files, that you may, if you want, import in your project/app/plugin dynamics configuration file.

By doing so, there is absolutely no parsing overhead, as unused configuration files will be, he, unused.

Documentation, documentation and even more documentation!

As documentation is very important, full documentation is available both in markdown and HTML versions, along with a tutorial and a short hello world example.

Reporting bugs, suggesting features

We use lighthouseapp as our ticketing system. Don't hesitate to report bugs, we're looking forward to make this plugin a «YFast» answer to highly dynamic websites.

Ok, show me the issues...
