Asset Compress is a plugin for CakePHP that can help you reduce the number of HTTP requests your application makes, as well as provide some nice sugar for Javascript and CSS files. Its partly intended as a way to get a 'build' stage without actually making the effort to write build scripts. By using directives you can resolve dependencies in Javascript and inline @import statements in CSS files.

Installation

Download the plugin and place on one of your plugin paths. Depending on whether or not you use caching, you may need to create some additional directories in your webroot, and some extra routes. See below for more details.
