No-hassle integration of YUI with the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline.
This gem vendors the latest YUI 3 for easy use. Once installed, add YUI to your app by adding:
//= require yui
To your app/assets/javascripts/application.js.
You can use debug or pre-minimized versions by requiring yui-debug or yui-min.
Rails 3.1 or greater.
Add the gem to your Gemfile:
gem 'yui-rails'
Update your gem bundle:
$ bundle install
You can use the --javascript flag with rails to specify your preferred library when creating a new rails project. For example:
rails new foo --javascript=yui
This will create a new project named 'foo' with yui-rails already installed.
Plans for improvement in no particular order:
- Decide how much (all?) of YUI to vendor (with debug versions everything is ~15.5mb, seems awfully heavy)
- Provide intelligent loader to mimic CDN's ability to load a group of dependencies on demand as a single file
