dancing_with_sprockets

The dancing_with_sprockets rails engine plugin makes it easy to use Sprockets in your Rails application

dancing_with_sprockets includes a controller named SprocketsController that renders your application's Sprockets concatenation. When caching is enabled, e.g. in production mode, SprocketsController uses Rails page caching to save the concatenated output the first time it is requested. When caching is disabled, e.g. in development mode, SprocketsController will render a fresh concatenation any time a source file changes.

This plugin makes it easy to use sprockets with rails. Just script/plugin install and write your javascript. Done.

Your narrative has become tiresome.

A note about the required Rails version

This is a rails engine plugin so it requres Rails > 2.3, however it started as a regular plugin (not engine). So if you want to use this plugin w/o upgrading to rails 2.3 for some reason, then you could just checkout the commit tagged pre_rails23_plugin of the dancing_with_sprockets plugin.

Installation

1. gem install --remote sprockets

2. script/plugin install git://github.com/coderifous/dancing_with_sprockets.git

3. Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dance!

   During installation the plugin will create the app/javascripts/ directory in your application. You should create/move your javascript files under this directory and then include them in your views/layouts using the sprockets_include_tag "name_of_file" helper. The file will be sprocketized (all sprocket directives processed) and the resulting bundle will be served.
