engine-assets

Rails Engines with assets

engine-assets is a Rails Engine which enables other Rails Engines to provide assets:

• javascript
• css
• images (TODO)

Requirements

• Rails (see RAILS_VERSIONS file for supported versions)

Installation

• TODO: basic gem installation.
• TODO: bundler style.

Usage

• TODO: write/find a related engine.
• TODO: require/load engine-assets and related engine in your Rails app.
• TODO: (optional) add Rails initializer (and use patched asset tag).

Customization

• TODO: Rails initializer to selectively reference files.

TODO

• Add spec/feature coverage for 'reloadable' controllers.

• Add spec/feature coverage for gem-installed engine, rather than plugins.

• Add spec/feature coverage for rails/init.rb making a difference.
