Create a constant named YII_ASSET_CDN.

[terabytesoftw]

Currently, in the development branch, assets can be installed from:

• phpforge/foxy.
• npm.

The idea here is to create the YII_ASSET_CDN constant with a default value of false. When set to true, we could configure the defined assets to use a CDN. If YII_DEBUG is true, the assets would be used compression; if false, the assets would be used without compression.

This was a suggestion by @rob006 for asset management, and i think it’s a good idea to have the option to not depend on an external tool.

How would you configure CDN?

[terabytesoftw]

In the Application simply by setting YII_ASSET_CDN to true, nothing more, of course the assets would contain the logic of whether the constant is true, it would configure the asset links.

Of course this is only for Assets that use the framework, the user must manage their own.

Hmm... maybe, instead of the global constant it's better to use asset manager config for that?

[terabytesoftw]

yes, we could also create a property, it would work quite well, the idea is to avoid having to add additional configuration, currently you don't need to add anything to do this, just the config.
