Building from source without Rails

[ajt]

Is there a way to easily rebuild the .js files for mercury from the coffeescript files without using rails? I wasn't sure if rails was a requirement or not. I have tried to compile vendor/assets/javascripts/mercury using coffeescript but got many errors.

Yup, there's a rake task in the project. You should be able to clone or fork it, set up the project with your standard rvm/bundler setup, and then build it..

rake mercury:build

Then you can take the files in /public and use them as your static (or static and minified) javascripts and css.

It's setup that way so that if you want to make changes, you can test them (with the javascript specs that are included) and then either vender that as your gem, or build and import js / css files manually into your project.

To be clear Mercury is built using the Rails / Sprockets asset pipeline. So, it is difficult to build it without that. But, as Jeremy stated it can be built and used outside of rails.
