Access Laravel 4 composer package assets

Question

I just added the Twitter Bootstrap via composer in Laravel 4 but im not sure how to actually link to files like bootstrap-tooltip.js, bootstrap-transition.js etc in my blade template.

This isn’t a question about the {{HTML::}} class, I know that is removed in version 4. I just want to know how to access media that is not stored in the /public/ directory.

I guess if I was doing this manually I would have the js in the /public/js/ directory but when installing the package via composer the files are stored at /vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/

It was a long shot and even feels wrong but I tried:

<script src="{{ path('vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-transition.js') }}"></script>

Hope that makes sense and someone can advise (I also hope im not being stupid and missing something really obvious).

This might help...

It would need some sort of composer post script running, similar to the one the Symfony Bootstrap uses

There is a Artisan command to move assets for packages but I'm not sure if it works with generic vendors

php artisan asset:publish vendor/package
