Load plugin assets at the frontend

Kirby 4 Question❓
1

I am building a plugin and need to access the assets from the plugin at the frontend. I read in other Topic and in the documentation that plugin assets should automatically get transferred to the media-folder. However, that’s not the case for me. I am wondering now, if I miss something of something is off with my setup / local server?

Here a minimal example:

use Kirby\Cms\App;

// Register plugin
App::plugin('pluginauthor/pluginname', [
    'assets' => [
        'css' => 'assets/styles.css',
    ]
]);

You certainly can. No need to register the assets like you did, just put them in the assets folder.

Then, in your frontend code, use:

<?= App::plugin('author/name')->asset('styles.css') ?>

Thanks for your help. Sadly your frontend code doesn’t have any output. I used your code as well as

<?= App::plugin('author/name')->asset('assets/styles.css') ?>

The last output I can get is from

<?php print_r(Kirby::plugin('author/name')); ?>

with following result

Kirby\Cms\Plugin Object
(
    [updateStatus:protected] => 
    [name:protected] => author/name
    [extends:protected] => Array
        (
            [assets] => Array
                (
                    [css] => assets/styles.css
                )
        )
        ...

Remove the assets part here from the path, as in the example @tobimori posted.

As I tried to mention above…

I tried both options without any success. Sadly the apache error-log also keeps empty. Any idea where to look next?
