How does it work?

While most settings of this extension speak for themselves. The Resource column contains a few nifty tricks (thanks to @chedaroo), which will come in handy when e.g. Static content signing is enabled.

Values in the Resource column are assumed to be relative (local) assets. When a relative path is entered and Static Content Signing is enabled, e.g.

(In these examples it is assumed that the default theme, Magento Luma is used.)

• YourName_ModuleName::path/to/file.ext will resolve to https://yourdomain.tld/static/<<deployment_version>>/frontend/Magento/luma/en_US/YourName_ModuleName/path/to/file.ext, and
• path/to/file.ext will resolve to https://yourdomain.tld/static/<<deployment_version>>/frontend/Magento/luma/en_US/path/to/file.ext.

When Static Content Signing is disabled, the above mentioned values will resolve to:

• https://yourdomain.tld/static/frontend/Magento/luma/en_US/YourName_ModuleName/path/to/file.ext, and
• https://yourdomain.tld/static/frontend/Magento/luma/en_US/path/to/file.ext respectively.

When absolute URLs (prefixed by a protocol, i.e. http://, https:// or //) are entered in the Resource column, no prior resolving will take place. E.g.

• http://yourdomain.tld/path/to/file.ext,
• https://yourdomain.tld/path/to/file.ext, and
• //SomeVolume/path/to/file.ext.

The examples above will all resolve to the same exact URL.
