Assets included on certain views

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Is there a way to only include Assets based on certain views?

I know in Yii 2 I use to use registerJSFile() a lot etc.

But in Yii 2 we not have Asset Bundles, but these only seem to handle global includes of files.

I use have a structure like so …

js/site/index.js

Would be loaded on …

site/index controller/action

And …

js/user/create.js

Would be loaded on …

user/create controller/action

Is there any way to do this with Yii 2?

in your view you can add




use frontend\assets\SomeNewBundelAsset;


SomeNewBundelAsset::register($this);

If you look in your app there will be an example called AppAssets in backend/assets and frontend/assets

You can also read about them here in the Yii2 docs.

Yes as skworden said but here is a bit more details for the beginners like me:

Add your files to the web directory, for example:

/web/css/my.css

/web/js/my.js

Create new asset bundle:

/assets/MyAsset.php and add your files to it, for example:


<?php

namespace frontend\assets;

use yii\web\AssetBundle;


class MyAsset extends AssetBundle

{

    public $basePath = '@webroot';

    public $baseUrl = '@web';

    public $css = [

        'css/my.css',

    ];

    public $js = [

        'js/my.js',

    ];

    public $depends = [

        'front\assets\AppAsset', // if you want your asset bundle to be requested after AppAsset

    ];

}

In your view views/site/myView.php Add:


use frontend\assets\MyAsset;

MyAsset::register($this);

Any by this way you will have a specific assets for a specific view.
