What this does
Declare assets with glob patterns in assets.json — served, versioned, and injected automatically.
Asset Manifest
9 assets wired automatically
The framework resolves manifest globs, versions files, and injects them into the correct head or body slot.

{ "glob": "css/**/*.css", "inject": "head" },
{ "glob": "js/**/*.js", "inject": "body" }

Asset Pipeline
The asset pipeline expands manifest globs, versions files, and injects them into head or body automatically. Declare assets with glob patterns in assets.json and the framework handles the rest.
How it works
Each module ships an assets.json manifest that declares which files to include and where to inject them. The framework resolves glob patterns, generates versioned URLs, and injects the results into the correct document position.
{
"$schema": "semitexa://asset-manifest/v2",
"include": [
{ "glob": "css/**/*.css", "inject": "head" },
{ "glob": "js/**/*.js", "inject": "body" }
]
}
Key mechanisms
assets.json— the manifest file declaring which files to collect and where to inject them.asset_head()— Twig function that outputs all assets registered for theheadposition.asset_body()— Twig function that outputs all assets registered for thebodyposition.- Glob patterns — patterns like
css/**/*.cssexpand to all matching files at build or boot time. - Versioning — file content hashes or timestamps are appended to asset URLs for cache-busting.
Why this matters
Manual <link> and <script> tags in templates drift out of sync with the actual files. Glob-based manifests remove the per-file registration step and keep injection positions consistent across modules.
