why cant use joomla.asset.json in my module?

[mastalnise]

Hi
I have developed a simple module and tried to use joomla.asset.json file in this module to register assets. The problem is that the assets written in this file are not registered and I have to use the PHP code to register the use of the assets.
I have used this method many times in Joomla and it has worked. But this is not the case in the Joomla module.

joomla.asset.json content:

Code: Select all

{
    "$schema": "https://developer.joomla.org/schemas/json-schema/web_assets.json",
    "name": "mod_instaads",
    "version": "4.2.3",
    "description": "This file contains details of the assets used by module instaads.",
    "license": "GPL-2.0-or-later",
    "assets": [
        
        {
            "name": "instaads",
            "type": "style",
            "uri": "mod_instaads/instaads.css"
        },
        {
            "name": "fontawesom",
            "type": "style",
            "uri": "system/joomla-fontawesome.min.css"
        },
        {
            "name": "all-instaads",
            "type": "preset",
            "description": "description",
            "dependencies": [
                "instaads#style",
                "fontawesom#style"
            ]
        }
        
    ]
}

This code does not work in the PHP section:

Code: Select all

use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
$wa = Factory::getApplication()->getDocument()->getWebAssetManager();
$wa->usePreset('all-instaads');

And I have to use this code:

Code: Select all

use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
$wa = Factory::getApplication()->getDocument()->getWebAssetManager();
$wa->registerAndUseStyle('instaads', 'mod_instaads/instaads.css');

In this code, there is no need to use joomla.asset.json file, but I insist on using this file for the asset register.
thanks for your help.

The asset JSON file is not loaded automatically for modules. You can load it like this:

Code: Select all

$wa->getRegistry()->addExtensionRegistryFile('mod_instaads');

Hi
This code did not work.
The problem is that the asset is not registered in the Joomla.asset.json file.
Whether with this code or without this code

Code: Select all

$wa->getRegistry()->addExtensionRegistryFile('mod_instaads');

I have to register and use the asset with the following code:

Code: Select all

$wa->registerAndUseStyle('instaads', 'mod_instaads/instaads.css');

According to the Joomla asset documentation, when the name of an asset appears in the Joomla.asset.json file, it should be registered by itself and we only use it with this code:

Code: Select all

$wa->useStyle('instaads');

Where is your joomla.asset.json file located?
