DESCRIPTION

YUI::Loader is a tool for loading YUI assets within your application. Loader will either provide the URI/HTML to access http://yui.yahooapis.com directly, or you can cache assets locally or serve them from an exploded yui_x.x.x.zip dir.

METHODS

YUI::Loader->new_from_yui_host([ base => <base>, version => <version> ])

YUI::Loader->new_from_internet([ base => <base>, version => <version> ])

Return a new YUI::Loader object configured to fetch and/or serve assets from http://yui.yahooapis.com/<version>

YUI::Loader->new_from_yui_dir([ dir => <dir>, version => <version> ])

Return a new YUI::Loader object configured to fetch/serve assets from a local, exploded yui_x.x.x.zip dir

As an example, for a dir of ./assets, the reset.css asset should be available as:

    ./assets/reset/reset.css

YUI::Loader->new_from_uri([ base => <base> ])

Return a new YUI::Loader object configured to serve assets from an arbitrary uri

As an example, for a base of http://example.com/assets, the reset.css asset should be available as:

    http://example.com/assets/reset.css

YUI::Loader->new_from_dir([ dir => <dir> ])

Return a new YUI::Loader object configured to serve assets from an arbitrary dir

As an example, for a dir of ./assets, the reset.css asset should be available as:

    ./assets/reset.css

select( <component>, <component>, ..., <component> )

Include each <component> in the "manifest" for the loader.

A <component> should correspond to an entry in the YUI component catalog (see below)

include

Returns a chainable component selector that will include what is called

You can use the methods of the selector to choose components to include. See YUI component catalog below

You can return to the loader by using the special ->then method:

exclude

Returns a chainable component selector that will exclude what is called

You can use the methods of the selector to choose components to include. See YUI component catalog below

You can return to the loader by using the special ->then method:

    $loader->exclude->yuilogger->then->html;

filter_min

Turn on the -min filter for all included components

For example:

    connection-min.js
    yuilogger-min.js
    base-min.css
    fonts-min.css

filter_debug

file( <component> )

Attempt to fetch a Path::Class::File for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.)

If the loader has a cache, then this method will try to fetch from the cache. Otherwise it will use the source.

cache_uri( <component> )

Attempt to fetch a URI for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.) from the cache

cache_file( <component> )

Attempt to fetch a Path::Class::File for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.) from the cache

source_uri( <component> )

Attempt to fetch a URI for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.) from the source

source_file( <component> )

Attempt to fetch a Path::Class::File for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.) from the source

item( <component> )

Return a YUI::Loader::Item for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.)

item_path( <component> )

Return the item path for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.)

item_file( <component> )

Return the item file for <component> using the current filter setting of the loader (-min, -debug, etc.)

html

Generate and return a string containing HTML describing how to include components. For example, you can use this in the <head> section of a web page.

If the loader has a cache, then it will attempt to generate URIs from the cache, otherwise it will use the source.

Here is an example:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/reset.css" type="text/css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/fonts.css" type="text/css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/base.css" type="text/css"/>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/yahoo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/dom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/event.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/logger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/yuitest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

source_html

Generate and return a string containing HTML describing how to include components. For example, you can use this in the <head> section of a web page.

Here is an example:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/reset.css" type="text/css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/fonts.css" type="text/css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/assets/base.css" type="text/css"/>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/yahoo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/dom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/event.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/logger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://example.com/assets/yuitest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
