I set in asset.php config 'autorender' => false (it's suitable for me in most cases).

But I encountered with problem. When I do this <?=\Asset::img('/path/to/img')?> in my view, I have the error: "Asset_instance could not be converted to string".

Is there a way to render image with Asset class in this mode (autorender => false)?

You can not render an individual asset instance by default if you don't auto-render, that is what that setting controls. So if you switch it off...

You can work around it by using some dummy group:

echo Asset::img('some.png', array(), $rg = uniqid())->render($rg);

I've solved this problem otherwise. Extend and replace Asset_Instance for make his img method always rendering when it does not use the groups. I think this behavior is preferential.

Well, this is the downside of disabling auto-render. If you want auto rendering, don't disable it.

For css and js you would always want to use a group, as they are usually rendered in one place (for css) or two places (for js).

In fact, I didn't want to disable auto rendering, but I wanted to cut notation of this:
\Asset::forge()->js(array(...), array(), '_default_')->css(array(...), array(), '_default_');

to this:
\Asset::forge(()->js(array(...))->css(array(...));

Unless you're hardcoding your pages, normally you would always use a group. We use two for css ('header-first' and 'header-last') and four for js (header and footer, and for both first and last).

And they are rendered in our page template, first before last (so you can control the fact that some js files need to be loaded before others, like jquery of bootstrap files).
