A brief discussion on the correct posture of using $publishOptions in Yii2 AssetBundle

This article introduces the correct posture of using $publishOptions in Yii2 AssetBundle. Share it with you, as follows:

Official Documentation:/doc-2.0/

Interested students can read the official original document first

Document sample code

<?php
namespace app\assets;
 
use yii\web\AssetBundle;
 
class FontAwesomeAsset extends AssetBundle 
{
  public $sourcePath = '@bower/font-awesome'; 
  public $css = [ 
    'css/', 
  ];
  public $publishOptions = [
    'only' => [
      'fonts/',
      'css/',
    ]
  ];
}

The official documentation states that only fonts and css resource directories are released after such configuration.

The above example defines an asset bundle for the "fontawesome" package.
 By specifying the only publishing option,
only the fonts and css subdirectories will be published.

Why is it wrong? Because it cannot realize the requirements for publishing the two directories fonts and css as described in the official website document.

The correct way to write it is as follows:

//...
  public $publishOptions = [
    'only' => [
      'fonts/*',
      'css/*',
    ]
  ];
