How to Add An Array to $config?

[bytesource]

I want to add an array variable to $config to store file paths, but is does not seem to work:

$config->minify = array();
$config->minify[] = 'hello';
$config->minify[] = 'world';
echo count($config->minify);  // => 0
 

On the other hand, adding a string works as expected:

$config->minify = '';
$config->minify .= 'hello';
$config->minify .= 'world';
echo $config->minify;  // => helloworld
 

I am still new to PHP I am probably not seeing the obvious, so I would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction.

Best regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

$config->imageSizerOptions = array(
	'upscaling' => false,
	'cropping' => true,
	'quality' => 90
);

$config->minify = array(
	'hello',
	'world',
	'some',
	'more',
	'text',
	'end'
);

should work.

it is equivalent to:

$config->minify = array(
	0 => 'hello',
	1 => 'world',
	2 => 'some',
	3 => 'more',
	4 => 'text',
	5 => 'end'
);

Hi Horst, 

Your suggested approach does indeed work:

$config->minify = array(
  'hello',
  'world');
echo count($config->minify);  // => 2
 

 

However, I would like to start with an empty array and add items dynamically. This does not seem to work with $config.

 

Also, I would like to take a look at the implementation of $config, but couldn't find any automatically created API documentation of all Processwire objects.

 

Cheers,

$config is WireData so you could

$config->minify = new WireData();
$config->minify->set("test","hello world");
 

Or use an php array and set it to the minify config

$minify = array();
$minify[] = 'test';
$minify[] = 'world';
$config->minify = $minify;

@diogo

That is exactly what I was looking for.

@Soma

$config is WireDate, now it all makes sense.

diogo, Somo, thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,

I have one additional question:

 

Is there a way to add a variable to $config that behaves like $config->styles?

 

Example:

$config->styles->add('default.js');
$config->styles->add('custom.js');
$config->styles->add('custom.js');
$config->styles->add('custom.js');

foreach($config->styles as $style) echo $style . ' ';
// => default.js custom.js
// no duplicates returned
 

 

Cheers,

$config->minify = new FilenameArray();

$config->minify->add("test.js");

$config->minify->add("test2.js");

[bytesource]

That works brilliantly:

$config->minify = new FilenameArray();
$config->minify->add("test.js");
$config->minify->add("test2.js");
$config->minify->add("test.js");
foreach($config->minify as $min) echo $min . ' ';  // => test.js test2.js 
 

 

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I wanted to achieve.

 

Cheers,

Hi Stefan,

Just a question, it looks like your solution is meant to include the extra files that are used with the minify module, but are currently outside the logical dir path.

If so, would you be willing to share the solution? It would be an answer to my post here: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1537-minify/

thanks!

Hi Ollie, 

I am not using the Processwire minify module, but this solution: https://github.com/mrclay/minify

In the HTML the different javascript files  need to be output like this to trigger the minification (works also with CSS files):

<script type='text/javascript' src='/min/?b=sovonex/site/templates/js&f=jquery-1.9.1.min.js,tabs-accordion/index.js,tabs-accordion/jquery.ba-resize.js,tabs-accordion/tabs-accordion.js,jquery.placeholder.min.js,include.js'></script>
 

Cheers, 

Stefan
