Asset Management
 in Rails

State of the art • /vendor/assets • asset gems Ruby World JavaScript World • /vendor/assets • bower

So what's the problem? • Asset Gems won't package themselves • Asset Gems are always step behind official libraries • Unnecessary stuff like ruby helpers :-(

If only I could use 
 bower components in ruby

+ rails-assets.org

source 'https://rubygems.org' +source 'https://rails-assets.org' ! gem 'rails' ! group :assets do gem 'sass-rails' gem 'uglifier' gem 'coffee-rails' + gem 'rails-assets-bootstrap' + gem 'rails-assets-angular' + gem 'rails-assets-leaflet' end

application.js ! ! ! //= require_self +//= require bootstrap +//= require angular +//= require leaflet //= require_tree . application.css ! ! /* *= require_self +*= require bootstrap +*= require leaflet *= require_tree . */

No content

Is it any good? • No more vendor/assets :-) • Proper versioning :-D • Dependency resolution x-D • Just works!

What's the catch? • Rails Assets is centralized solution • Only tag releases are bundled to .gem files • Mixing assets definitions with gem definitions • Long gem names (rails-assets-jquery)

bower-rails source 'https://bower.io' ! asset "angular" asset "underscore", "~> 2.0" ! group :test, :development do asset "karma" end

application.js ! ! ! //= require_self +//= require bootstrap +//= require angular +//= require leaflet //= require_tree . application.css ! ! /* *= require_self +*= require bootstrap +*= require leaflet *= require_tree . */

We're joining forces! rails-assets + bower-rails = <3
