In my libraries.yml file, I have something like this, being used to define "foo-bar" as a library that can be pulled in from various parts of the site:

foo-bar:
  version: 0.0.x
  js:
    js/foo-dev.js: {}

This works well on my local environment, but on our production and QA environments, I would like for it to look more like this:

foo-bar:
  version: 0.0.x
  js:
    js/foo-prod.js: {}

(The prod version will include optimizations that normally don't appear with minification alone).

Currently, we are using the sites/<site>/settings.*.php files and the config-split module to have different configurations based on the environment, but is there a way to have the foo-bar library reference the dev-friendly version on one environment, and the production version on all others?

Look at hook_page_attachments. In the sample snippet provided behind that link there is a simple if-request which attaches a certain library only when a certain condition is met. Do the same.

MYTHEME/MYMODULE.libraries.yml

foo-bar-dev:
  version: 0.0.x
  js:
    js/foo-dev.js: {}
foo-bar-prod:
  version: 0.0.x
  js:
    js/foo-prod.js: {}

MYTHEME.theme/MYMODULE.module

function MYTHEME/MYMODULE_page_attachments(array &$attachments) {

  // Conditionally attach an asset to the page.
  if (\Drupal::request()->getHost() == 'example.com') {
    $attachments['#attached']['library'][] = 'MYTHEME/MYMODULE/foo-bar-prod';
  }
  else {
    $attachments['#attached']['library'][] = 'MYTHEME/MYMODULE/foo-bar-dev';
  }
}

    If you have attached the library already in other places and therefore want to keep the library name you could use hook_library_info_alter to alter only the js file name.

  • @4k4 – Gosh, you are so right. Found my own question when googling named hook: drupal.stackexchange.com/q/210959/15055

    As noted here if you want to put this logic in a theme, you cannot use hook_page_attachments() but can use hook_page_attachments_alter or hook_preprocess_page. Oct 17, 2019 at 22:31
