Why aren't resources updated?

Question

Yii

There is this.

<?php

namespace app\modules\admin\assets;


class AdminAsset extends \yii\web\AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@app/modules/admin/static';
    public $css = [
        'css/style.css'
    ];
    public $js = [
        'js/main.js'
    ];
    public $depends = [
        'yiister\adminlte\assets\Asset'
    ];
}

The fact is that when I edit, for example, css, so that the current version of the style would be loaded, I need to delete everything from the /web/assets folder, after that, the actual css will work. Why hasn't this happened before. tell me what's the matter

Answer 1

Good morning. You can add it to the config file
instead

'assetManager' => [
           'linkAssets' => true,
        ],

With this setting, resource files will be immediately updated, and they will not be duplicated in web/assets, instead symbolic links to files will be created.

Answer 2

I will answer myself))

<?php

namespace app\modules\admin\assets;


class AdminAsset extends \yii\web\AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@app/modules/admin/static';
    public $publishOptions = ['forceCopy' => true];
    public $css = [
        'css/style.css'
    ];
    public $js = [
        'js/main.js'
    ];
    public $depends = [
        'yiister\adminlte\assets\Asset'
    ];
}
