Retrieving list of specific CSS or JS files for action of controller

1. Include helper 'CakeTheme.ActionScript' in your AppController:

   public $helpers = [
       'CakeTheme.ActionScript'
       ...
   ];
   

2. In your layout file add next string for load CSS and JS files for action:

   $this->ActionScript->css(['block' => 'css'], $uiLcid3);
   $this->ActionScript->script(['block' => 'script'], $uiLcid3);
   

3. Create folder in app/webroot/css/specific/CONTROLLER_NAME/ACTION_NAME or app/webroot/js/specific/CONTROLLER_NAME/ACTION_NAME and place files for current controller and current action.

4. For redefine specific file name for controller action define in controller method specificCSS or specificJS variables and specify needed files name as string or array, e.g.:

   $specificCSS = 'some_action_name';
   $specificJS = ['another_action_name', 'SomeController' . DS . 'some_action'];
   

5. For load specific files for the selected version of the browser, create a folder, e.g.: app/webroot/css/specific/CONTROLLER_NAME/ACTION_NAME/ie/8 and place CSS files for current controller and current action.

   In View for this action add next string:

   $this->append('specificCss', '<!--[if lte IE 8]>' . $this->Html->css($this->ActionScript->getFilesForAction('css', array('ie', 8), true)) . '<![endif]-->');
   

6. Add the ending .min to the compressed files, e.g. index.min.css.

7. Example of specific JS file:

   /**
    * File for action Index of controller Employees
    *
    * @file    File for action Index of controller Employees
    * @version 0.1
    */
   
   /**
    * @version 0.1
    * @namespace AppActionScriptsEmployeesIndex

   var AppActionScriptsEmployeesIndex = AppActionScriptsEmployeesIndex || {};
   
   (function ($) {
       'use strict';
   
       /**

               return;
           }
   
           var keyCode = e.keyCode;
           if (e.ctrlKey || e.altKey
               || (keyCode < 0x20)
               || ((keyCode >= 0x21) && (keyCode <= 0x28))

               || (keyCode === 0x90) || (keyCode === 0x91)
           ) {
               return;
           }
   
           searchInput.focus();
           var currText = searchInput.val();
           currText    += e.key;
           searchInput.val('');
           searchInput.val(currText);
       }

       AppActionScriptsEmployeesIndex.updateSearchInput = function () {
