SprockAssets

SprockAssets is a Rack middleware that makes compiling your assets easy and fast.

Usage

Here is how to use it.

Add it to your Gemfile

gem 'sprock-assets', require: 'sprock_assets'

Rack apps

Add a use to your config.ru

use SprockAssets

Sinatra

You can use assets just like in Rails.

require 'sinatra/base'
require 'sprock_assets'

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  use SprockAssets
end

Create and update the source files

Source Path	Compiled Path
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css	public/assets/stylesheets/application.css
app/assets/javascripts/application.js	public/assets/javascripts/application.js

Serve compiled assets

ruby config.ru
curl http://localhost/assets/stylesheets/application.css
curl http://localhost/assets/javascripts/application.js

Your compiled assets will now be served at their corresponding URIs. When your application is run in production your assets will automatically be compiled and saved to disk.

Notes

Make sure you require the compressors if you use SprockAssets in production.

gem 'yui-compressor', require: 'yui/compressor'
gem 'uglifier', require: 'uglifier'
