What does Assets mean?

Navigation
12

I have long worked with MVC frameworks in PHP, such as Symfony , Laravel and Codeigniter .

Generally, when it comes to the Views framework, there are always features to make it easier to include files like Css and Javascript . Generally, these are functions or classes called assets that do this work.

Although I have understood the functions of these functions, I do not understand the meaning of the word Assets . I translated this word into Google Translate and the result was " active ".

I wonder if this word Assets is a specific term for the MVC, or the programming in general.

Assets is it a standard or just a term?

The term asset is just a word used with a slightly different "context" than normal in English.

Asset means: active .

But it's an asset reference related to assets.

See:

  • Liquid assets can be sold more quickly (Net assets can be sold faster)

  • Assets held by the company in Asia (Assets held by the company in Asia)

  • The business disposed of all its assets (The company eliminated all of its capital assets.)

  • He transferred all his assets into his wife's name (He transferred all his possessions to the name of his wife.)

  • The courts can order a company's assets to be frozen (Courts can order the assets of a company to be frozen)

In technology, the answer comes from the fact that your " assets " are the resources of your project. Your "bank" of libraries.

In this case it can be said that the term is an adaptation of the word from the English context to the projects themselves.
