31 August 2011 Hello Rails 3.1
gem wrappers
$ gem list --remote jquery | wc -l 300
Bower
Three different ways to use Bower 1. gem Using an
integration like bower-rails or bower gem gem install bower-rails source 'https://rubygems.org' gem 'bower-rails'
Three different ways to use Bower 2. Load path config.assets.paths
<< File.join(Rails.root, 'bower_components') requires Rails 4 (Sprockets 2+)
Three different ways to use Bower 3. rails-assets.org source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails' source 'https://rails-assets.org' do gem 'rails-assets-bootstrap' gem 'rails-assets-angular' gem 'rails-assets-leaflet' end requires Bundler >= 1.8.4

Bower only helps solve dependency management
Things you might need Dependency management Pre and post-processing Code
loading Code bundling
Sprockets plugins alexspeller/non-stupid-digest-assets
Sprockets plugins Post-processing JS/CSS ai/autoprefixer-rails uses PostCSS project autoprefixer TannerRogalsky/sprockets-es6
uses Babel (formerly 6to5), requires Sprockets 3
Problem with Sprockets No standard plugin configuration style Cannot control
pre/post-processing order Asset dependencies
Things you might need Dependency management Pre and post-processing Code
loading Code bundling
Webpack
Webpack configuration + entry point // webpack.config.js module.exports = {
context: __dirname + '/app', entry: 'rubyc-app.js', output: { filename: '[name].js', path: path.join(__dirname, '..', 'app', 'assets', 'javascripts', 'bundles'), publicPath: '/assets/bundles' } }
Requiring JS single files and dependencies require('./another-file'); //= require ./another-file
(Sprockets) var angular = require('angular'); var jQuery = require('jquery'); require('jquery-ui');
Requiring JS a tree var requireTemplate = require.context('./app/controllers', true, /\.js$/);
requireTemplate.keys().forEach(requireTemplate); //= require_tree ./app/controllers (Sprockets)
Requiring assets require('jquery-ui/ui/jquery-ui'); // .js (default) require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css'); require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css'); require('select2/select2'); //
.js (default) require('select2/select2.css');
Requiring assets quick start require('jquery-ui/ui/jquery-ui'); // .js (default) require('!style-loader!css-loader!jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css'); require('!style-loader!css-loader!jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css');
Requiring assets with a bit of config // webpack.config.js module.exports
= { context: __dirname + '/app', entry: 'rubyc-app.js', module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.css$/, loader: 'style-loader!css-loader' }, { test: /\.png$/, loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000&mimetype=image/png' }, { test: /\.gif$/, loader: 'file-loader' }, { test: /\.jpg$/, loader: 'file-loader' } ]} } require('jquery-ui/ui/jquery-ui'); // .js (default) require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css'); require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css');
Requiring assets body { background: url(file:///Users/alexbcoles/git-repos/talk-rails-beyond-asset-pipeline//assets/bundles/backgroun } /* border-image: url(file:///Users/alexbcoles/git-repos/talk-rails-beyond-asset-pipeline/border-image.png);
*/ .box { border-image: url(file:///Users/alexbcoles/git-repos/talk-rails-beyond-asset-pipeline/data:image/png;base64,i }
Loaders and plugins Webpack is built on the concept of
loaders and plugins
Loaders
Loaders Loaders are transformations that are applied on files. They
preprocess files. I. e. they can transform CoffeeScript to JavaScript.
Chaining Loaders eslint ← coffee json ← yaml style ←
postcss ← css ← sass ngtemplate-loader ← markdown
None
Requiring Rails-style translation files $ npm install --save-dev json-loader yaml-loader
I18n.translations = I18n.translations || {}; I18n.translations.en = require('!json!yaml!config/locales/en_US.yml').en; I18n.translations.de = require('!json!yaml!config/locales/en_DE.yml').de;
Transpiling (ES6 → ES5) $ npm install --save-dev babel-loader module:
{ loaders: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: 'babel-loader'} ] }
Transpiling (ES6 → ES5) // app-defaults.js export default { favouriteConf:
'Ruby C' }; // app.js import appDefaults from './app-defaults.js'; class ExampleApp { constructor() { console.log(appDefaults.favouriteConf); } } export default ExampleApp;
Legacy code support $ npm install --save-dev exports-loader module: {
loaders: [ { test: /[\/]angular\.js$/, loader: 'exports?angular' } ] }
How to integrate with Rails rake webpack – or –
rake assets:precompile
Rails integration /// manifest-84b43dda218a2c29ce11f4f7b9ca4e5f.json { "assets": { "1downarrow.png": "1downarrow-d2055955ce2927de07f2e33abdbfdc1b.png", "1uparrow.png":
"1uparrow-a4eef1942dd999e6a16e84c1c8122b8a.png", "2downarrow.png": "2downarrow-e8bc5b59fa922f68637dc22b4a467f5c.png" } }
Rails integration # app/helpers/application_helper.rb def webpack_bundle_tag(bundle) src = if Rails.configuration.webpack[:use_manifest]
manifest = Rails.configuration.webpack[:asset_manifest] filename = manifest[bundle] "#{compute_asset_host}/assets/#{filename}" else "#{compute_asset_host}/assets/#{bundle}-bundle" end javascript_include_tag(src) end http://clarkdave.net/2015/01/how-to-use-webpack-with-rails/
Rails integration Running everything together foreman start # Procfile web:
bundle exec rails server -e ${RAILS_ENV:="development"} assets: $(npm bin)/webpack --colors --watch --progress
How does CSS fit into the picture?
Core application CSS 1. Stick with the Rails asset pipeline
for CSS 2. Using gulp rather than Webpack
Gulp for Sass/CSS $ npm install -g gulp $ gulp
sass gulp.task('sass', function() { return gulp.src('app/assets/css/default.css.sass') .pipe(sass({ loadPath: [ './bower_components/bourbon/app/assets/stylesheets' ] })) .pipe(autoprefixer({ cascade: false })) .on('error', function(err) { console.log(err.message); }) .pipe(gulp.dest('public/assets/css')); });
