Question

how to load tree(!) of vendor to rails 3 app ?

Now Im using this way:

//= require vendor ../../../vendor/assets/ {stylesheet or javascript}

And this won’t work for me:

require_tree vendor OR require vendor

Answer 1

I suggest you create files like

• vendor/assets/javascripts/vendor.js
• vendor/assets/stylesheets/vendor.css

Inside vendor.js you can do

//= require_tree .

and inside vendor.css you can do

/* 
 *= require_tree .
 */

And then inside app/assets/javascripts/vendor.js put

//= require vendor

and in app/assets/stylesheets/vendor.css put

/* 
 *= require vendor
 */

It should be noted, once you get more than a couple files you want to include, you’re very likely better off avoiding require_tree and instead using a //= require line for each file independently. This lets you order your assets properly to ensure any dependencies on one another are resolved. By doing what I describe above you set yourself up for success with the individual //= require lines in your vendor/ directories when that time comes.
