include symfony base assets that aren't in a bundle

Question

I'm trying to use Assetic to include my base css and js assets that aren't in a bundle. They're located in MySymfonyApp/app/Resources/public/css/ and MySymfonyApp/app/Resources/public/js/ .

I have the following in my base.html.twig template but i'm getting 404s

{% stylesheets '%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/public/css/*' %}
    <link href="{{ asset_url }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
{% endstylesheets %}

   {% javascripts
        '%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/public/js/jQuery.js'
        '%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/public/js/*' %}
        <script src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
    {% endjavascripts %}

I've also tried the following with the same result.

{% stylesheets '../app/Resources/public/css/*' %}
    <link href="{{ asset_url }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
{% endstylesheets %}

How do i reference assets that aren't in bundles?

Answer 1

solution:

assets in app/Resources/public/* are a special case. They can easily be managed.

These will all be copied (or symlinked) to web/public/* if you invoke the console command:

app/console assets:install web

... or ...

app/console assets:install web --symlink

Now the assets can be included from the web -folder directly.

<script src="{{ asset('js/jquery.js') }}"></script>

tip:

If you need to fetch assets from other directories relative to the kernel-rootdir.

You can do something like this:

# app/config/config.yml
assetic:
    assets:
        css_boostrap: 
            inputs:
                -  %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
                -  %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/myself/bootstrap-theme/*.css
        js_jquery:
             inputs:
                 - %kernel.root_dir%/Resources/public/js/jquery.min.js

Now execute the console command ...

app/console assetic:dump

... and include them in one of your templates:

{% stylesheets '@css_boostrap' %}
    <link href="{{ asset_url }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
{% endstylesheets %}
