What does it do?

Package assets helps you prepare CSS and JS assets for your Go web app. You give it all your asset source files and it gives you a single, compressed asset file ready for your website. It can also compile CoffeeScript and LESS files on-the-fly.

How to use it

You put your asset files wherever you like and give their address to assets:

css, err := assets.New("assets/styles/*.less").Put("static", "")
js, err := assets.New("assets/scripts/*.coffee").Put("static", "")
// now you can serve your static folder and pass css and js file names to your
// templates and to call them in your HTML

You can disable compression when you are in development mode. Read the documentation on GoPkgDoc.

Wish list

• It depends on external coffee, lessc, and yuicompressor for compilation and compression. Wish there was a better way.
• A way to add more compression and compilation processors: e.g., to add supprot for SaSS, or use another JS compressor.
• Better test code.
