Deprecation: #107537 - TYPO3CMSCoreUtilityPathUtility::getPublicResourceWebPath 

Description 

The static method PathUtility::getPublicResourceWebPath($extResource) was marked internal since it was introduced. Since there weren't good alternatives to this API, it is not removed but deprecated first before it will be removed with TYPO3 v15

Impact and affected installations 

TYPO3 installations using PathUtility::getPublicResourceWebPath($extResource) will get a deprecation message for each call of this method.

Migration 

Use the System Resource API instead.

Before:

public function renderUrl(string $extResource): string
{
    return PathUtility::getPublicResourceWebPath($extResource);
}

After:

public function __construct(
    private readonly SystemResourceFactory $systemResourceFactory,
    private readonly SystemResourcePublisherInterface $resourcePublisher,
) {}

public function renderUrl(string $resourceIdentifier, ServerRequestInterface $request): string
{
    $resource = $this->systemResourceFactory->createPublicResource($resourceIdentifier);
    return (string)$this->resourcePublisher->generateUri(
        $resource,
        $request,
        new UriGenerationOptions(absoluteUri: true),
    );
}

If the code can not be easily refactored to receive a request (which is recommended), it is fine to pass null as request, which instructs the API to check for a global request and use it if it exists. If no request can be obtained, no absolute URLs can be created with the new API.
