Question

Alright so lets say I have these files in vendor/assets/javascript/:

• modernizer.js
• lightbox.js
• highchart.js

And these files in app/assets/javascript/:

• pages.js.coffee
• accounts.js.coffee
• application.js.coffee
• charts.js.coffee

I would like to have lightbox.js, highchart.js and modernizer.js all compiled into seperate files. Here’s an example in public/assets/:

• application-HASH.js
• modernizer-HASH.js
• highchart-HASH.js
• lightbox-HASH.js

I’m using Rails 3.1.3, Ruby 1.9.3 (Not that this matters).

Answer 1

Add them to the list of assets to precompile by sticking this in application.rb

config.assets.precompile += ['lightbox.js', 'highchart.js', 'modernizer.js']
