🔔 v2.1 – Asset Flexibility & Architecture Improvement

This release introduces custom asset URL support and refactors the internal asset resolution logic for better stability and maintainability.

✅ What’s New

• Added asset_url configuration option for custom asset hosting or CDN support.
• Assets now optionally resolve through a custom base URL.
• Clean fallback to Laravel’s native asset() helper when no custom URL is configured.

✅ What Improved

• Removed fragile environment detection logic from asset resolution.

• Removed unnecessary system processing directory dependency.

• Improved compatibility with:

  • Laravel Sail
  • Laravel Octane
  • Docker
  • Windows
  • Shared hosting
  • Production environments

🚀 Upgrade Guide

1️⃣ Update the Package

composer update devrabiul/laravel-cookie-consent

2️⃣ Publish Updated Package Resources

After updating, publish the latest resources:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Devrabiul\CookieConsent\CookieConsentServiceProvider"

3️⃣ (Recommended) Remove Old Config File

To avoid conflicts with the new version:

Delete:
config/laravel-cookie-consent.php

Then re-publish the configuration file to ensure you get the latest structure.

4️⃣ Add Custom Asset URL (Optional)

If you want to use CDN or custom asset hosting, add this to your .env:

COOKIE_CONSENT_ASSET_URL=https://your-domain.com

If not set, the package will automatically use Laravel's native asset() helper.

Released on: April 16, 2025

🐛 Fixed

• Cookie Categories Visibility Issue #1
  Fixed an issue where enabling or disabling cookie categories via the laravel-cookie-consent.php config file or through the JavaScript options array had no effect on which cookie categories were shown in the cookie preferences box.
  • All cookie categories were previously shown regardless of the configuration.
  • Now, only the categories explicitly enabled in the config or passed to the JS options will be displayed.
