Assets and Init System

Static Asset Layout

Important files and directories:

• public/assets/js/app.js
• public/assets/js/functions.js
• public/assets/inits/*.js
• public/assets/plugins/*.js
• public/assets/dist/*

Browser Boot File

public/assets/js/app.js is the main runtime entry.

It:

• initializes visibility handling
• observes DOM mutations
• re-runs widget initialization through window.init()
• configures AJAX CSRF headers
• centralizes session-expired handling
• wires custom validation into form submission

Init Registry

Each file under public/assets/inits defines one widget initializer.

Examples include:

• Coloris
• icon picker
• repeater
• Sortable
• Tempus Dominus
• TinyMCE
• Tom Select
• uploader

Generated Output

php artisan dependencies:build generates public/assets/dist/init.js, which registers these inits into window.__inits.

This is the lightweight replacement for a more typical module-bundler init flow.

Dependency Freshness

The build command also writes public/assets/dist/lock.json.

The EnsureDependenciesBuilt middleware checks this lock file and triggers rebuilds when tracked sources changed.

Theme Integration

The built-in theme system provides the @themer Blade directive, which injects:

• the localStorage key
• theme config from settings
• the theme runtime script

That theme state is reused by widgets like TinyMCE and Tempus Dominus.
