Send a list of past modules made and a $$$ quote to develop and test this module. I will be posting it under my github account for easy access for myself and anyone else that needs it. I have a good budget and won't compromise on the functionality I've requested below.
This module "ngx_preload_files" preloads one or more files on the filesystem into a single variable. This can be used for tasks like concatenating critical css and javascript files and inlining them with a substitution module, all within Nginx.
All parameters accept variables in the standard format. This is implemented with a minimal memory and zero performance footprint; all the heavy lifting happens when nginx configuration loads/reloads.
== Directives ==
Syntax: preload_files $variable $files [file1 file2 file3 ...];
Default: —
Context: http, server, location
Loads $files into $variable. If any $file is a URI, pull in files with wget or cURL [whatever is available on the system].
---
Syntax: preload_files_context_local $path;
Default: — in http context [meaning absolute paths only], $document_root in server context, $uri in location context.
Context: http, server, location
The relative path/context for local preload_files [within this directive's and child contexts without overrides].
Set to "off" (without quotes) to resolve all $files as absolute paths.
---
Syntax: preload_files_context_remote $url;
Default: —
Context: http, server, location
The relative $url for remote preload_files [within this directive's and child contexts without overrides].
---
Syntax: preload_files_separator $separator;
Default: "\n";
Context: http, server, location
Defines the separator between preload_files [within this directive's and child contexts without overrides].
---
Syntax: preload_files_substitute $search $replace [$file];
Default: —
Context: http, server, location
Search and replace in $files prior to placing contents in $variable [within this directive's and child contexts]. This directive can be used multiple times for different search and replace operations.
If optional third parameter $file is passed, search/replace only occurs within that file; $file must *exactly* match it's preload_files $files entry.
