Yii2 Can we change the assets directory location?

Question

Yii2 automatically generates the assets in web folder. How can we change it to any other folder?

For example. If I create a folder named myassets in web folder. It is possible to store all the assets in this folder?

Answer 1

You can change it by editing $basePath of AssetManager.

Through application config:

'assetManager' => [
    'basePath' => '@webroot/my-assets',
],

Through application component:

\Yii:$app->assetManager->basePath = '@webroot/my-assets';
