Question

I'm trying to include a css file located in frontend/web/css to backend main layout. It is working for backend but produce error for frontend. frontend web url is staging.example.com and backend web url is backend.example.com.

<?php
namespace frontend\assets;
use yii\web\AssetBundle;

class IconAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@frontend/web';
    public $css = [
        'css/icon.css',
    ];
}
?>

Code inside frontend layout main.php

use frontend\assets\IconAsset;
IconAsset::register($this);

Code inside backend layout main.php

use frontend\assets\IconAsset;
IconAsset::register($this);

You need to create the Custom Asset Bundle in frontend as follows

     namespace frontend\assets;
     use yii\web\AssetBundle;
     use yii\web\YiiAsset;

        class CustomAsset extends AssetBundle{
            public $basePath = '@webroot';
            public $baseUrl = '@web';
            public $css = [
                'css/custom.css',
                'css/another_css.css'
            ];
        }`

Put above code in frontend web accessible folder and register this asset into bakend main layout file as follows

use frontend\assets\CustomAsset;
use Yii;

$bundle = CustomAsset::register(Yii::$app->view);
