Answered css - js as a document has become a native feature in revo ?

We all know this post https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=19725&page=
and this css as a document seems to be very popular. As an Evo user I am wondering now, has this become a native feature in Revo ? Maybe also for javascript ? If not maybe something for Modx3 ?

wowzers that post was from 6 years ago!

Yes, this is a native feature in Revo - not sure how long its been there though.

See attached screen shot.

You can also create your own content types in the System -> Content Types menu. Great for using in conjunction with static resources for serving files like .pdf files for download.

Thanks for your replies. In Evo you have to do the following to make it work: 1.use the alternate @import rule 2.use the stylesheet's alias 3.Edit your .htaccess to ensure IE compatibility. What I meant with "has this become a native feature in Revo" is, can you do this now in Revo, without the 3 tricks you have to do in Evo ? I'm afraid not is it ?
Yes that Evo post is more then 6 years old but it holds some very interesting ideas (that's why the post is pinned) for example organizing your css (and js) in chunks on resources. A great way of keeping track of your css/js and find and edit them effortlessly and quickly, even if your website grows bigger. [ed. note: sitecms last edited this post 13 years, 8 months ago.]

Revo will automatically append the correct filetype (.css) to the alias, and add the correct HTTP headers.

That's interesting, reason enough to install revo and see how it pays off.

Yes and it's an awesome feature may I add, it allows you to use template variables and output modifiers on your css files which can be very helpful.

You can also create your own content types I wrote a small article about it here

Try Revo it's a bit to absorb if your coming from Evo but its much more flexible.

An interesting possibility that I have not yet heard of anyone finding a use for is that the requested .css page is a resource like any other resource as far as MODx is concerned, so the SESSION will be available to it just like any other resource requested from the same domain. So snippets could be used to generate custom CSS for individual users, groups of users, or according to any custom values previously set in the SESSION for the user.

I create my css as resources during development and then switch to minified/gzipped static files when the site goes live. I have not tried using a snippet like minfiyX with css as resources - I wonder if it would work...

I'm pretty sure that only works with files. You might be able to use static resources.
