+Combining, Compiling and Minimizing Web Assets with PHP Libraries
+=================================================================
+
+The official Symfony Best Practices recommend to use Assetic to
+:doc:`manage web assets `, unless you are
+comfortable with JavaScript-based front-end tools.
+
+Even if those JavaScript-based solutions are the most suitable ones from a
+technical point of view, using pure PHP alternative libraries can be useful in
+some scenarios:
+
+* If you can't install or use ``npm`` and the other JavaScript solutions;
+* If you prefer to limit the amount of different technologies used in your
+ applications;
+* If you want to simplify application deployment.
+
+In this article, you'll learn how to combine and minimize CSS and JavaScript files
+and how to compile Sass files using PHP only libraries with Assetic.
+
+Installing the Third-Party Compression Libraries
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Assetic includes a lot of ready-to-use filters, but it doesn't include their
+associated libraries. Therefore, before enabling the filters used in this article,
+you must install two libraries. Open a command console, browse to your project
+directory and execute the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ composer require leafo/scssphp
+ $ composer require patchwork/jsqueeze:"~1.0"
+
+It's very important to maintain the ``~1.0`` version constraint for the ``jsqueeze``
+dependency because the most recent stable version is not compatible with Assetic.
+
+Organizing your Web Asset Files
+-------------------------------
+
+This example shows the common scenario of using the Bootstrap framework, the
+jQuery library, the FontAwesome icon fonts and some regular CSS and JavaScript
+application files (called ``main.css`` and ``main.js``). The recommended directory
+structure for this set-up is the following:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ web/assets/
+ ├── css
+ │ ├── main.css
+ │ └── code-highlight.css
+ ├── js
+ │ ├── bootstrap.js
+ │ ├── jquery.js
+ │ └── main.js
+ └── scss
+ ├── bootstrap
+ │ ├── _alerts.scss
+ │ ├── ...
+ │ ├── _variables.scss
+ │ ├── _wells.scss
+ │ └── mixins
+ │ ├── _alerts.scss
+ │ ├── ...
+ │ └── _vendor-prefixes.scss
+ ├── bootstrap.scss
+ ├── font-awesome
+ │ ├── _animated.scss
+ │ ├── ...
+ │ └── _variables.scss
+ └── font-awesome.scss
+
+Combining and Minimizing CSS Files and Compiling SCSS Files
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+First, configure a new ``scssphp`` Assetic filter as follows:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+ .. code-block:: yaml
+
+ # app/config/config.yml
+ assetic:
+ filters:
+ scssphp:
+ formatter: 'Leafo\ScssPhp\Formatter\Compressed'
+ # ...
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ .. code-block:: php
+
+ // app/config/config.php
+ $container->loadFromExtension('assetic', array(
+ 'filters' => array(
+ 'scssphp' => array(
+ 'formatter' => 'Leafo\ScssPhp\Formatter\Compressed',
+ ),
+ // ...
+ ),
+ ));
+
+The value of the ``formatter`` option is the fully qualified class name of the
+formatter used by the filter to produce the compiled CSS file. Using the
+compressed formatter allows to minimize the resulting file, no matter if the
+original files are regular CSS files or SCSS files.
+
+Then, update the code of your Twig template to add the ``{% stylesheets %}`` tag
+defined by Assetic:
+
+.. code-block:: html+jinja
+
+ {# app/Resources/views/base.html.twig #}
+
+
+
+
+
+ {% stylesheets filter="scssphp" output="css/app.css"
+ "assets/scss/bootstrap.scss"
+ "assets/scss/font-awesome.scss"
+ "assets/css/*.css"
+ %}
+
+ {% endstylesheets %}
+
+This simple configuration compiles, combines and minifies the SCSS files into a
+regular CSS file that's put in ``web/css/app.css``. This is the only CSS file
+which will be served to your visitors.
+
+Combining and Minimizing JavaScript Files
+-----------------------------------------
+
+First, configure a new ``jsqueeze`` Assetic filter as follows:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+ .. code-block:: yaml
+
+ # app/config/config.yml
+ assetic:
+ filters:
+ jsqueeze: ~
+ # ...
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ .. code-block:: php
+
+ // app/config/config.php
+ $container->loadFromExtension('assetic', array(
+ 'filters' => array(
+ 'jsqueeze' => null,
+ // ...
+ ),
+ ));
+
+Then, update the code of your Twig template to add the ``{% javascripts %}`` tag
+defined by Assetic:
+
+.. code-block:: html+jinja
+
+
+
+ {% javascripts filter="?jsqueeze" output="js/app.js"
+ "assets/js/jquery.js"
+ "assets/js/bootstrap.js"
+ "assets/js/main.js"
+ %}
+
+ {% endjavascripts %}
+
+
+
+
+This simple configuration combines all the JavaScript files, minimizes the contents
+and saves the output in the ``web/js/app.js`` file, which is the one that is
+served to your visitors.
+
+The leading ``?`` character in the ``jsqueeze`` filter name indicates that it must
+be applied only when the ``debug`` mode is disabled in the application, which
+usually occurs in the production environment.
