Yii2. How to minimize and merge files?

Question

Yii

Hey!
The task of minimizing and gluing css, js arose. I wrote my own component responsible for minimizing and merging files. We got 2 files all=1453985904.js and all-1453985904.css, which must be included in your AssetBundle.
How can I do that? Naturally, timestamps like 1453985904 will sometimes change.

Answer 1

Minimization and gluing, as it were, should be done by Gulp or Grunt even before everything goes into production.
Here is 1 link from Google if you really want yii to do this.

Answer 2

if you stop at your minification approach, you can substitute a file for AssetBundle on the fly by overriding init():

public function init()
    {
        parent::init();

        $js = $this->js;
        $js[] = 'js/cart.'.Yii::$app->language.'.js';
        $this->js = $js;
    }

I have code ready to do this for you.
