[Proposal] Asset domain configuration

[dwightwatson]

I've noticed that the mix helper returns an absolute URL for assets, where the elixir helper would return a relative one. However, you might not always want to be serving your assets from the same URL as the app. For example, a CDN that might sit in front of your app and cache assets.

I'd like to propose a second URL be added in config/app.php or wherever else is appropriate, something like asset_url. It could default to the primary URL but changed if necessary.

Is this a PR you'd consider? Otherwise, is the functionality I'm after already available in another way?

@dwightwatson So this can be closed?

I still think it would be beneficial to have some sort of asset_url configuration so that it would be easy to use a CDN with your apps. The PR I made above was just updated Mix to return a relative path rather than an absolute path so it's easier to replace with another host if you need.
