I have a project with a RESTful Rails back-end and a Flex front-end, first time for me with this combo and I debating whether to put the flex source somewhere inside the Rails folder hierarchy or making it a separate project. If I do so which folder would be most suitable /lib?
Also be doing one click deployment with Vlad which can also compile the flex app and dump it in the public folder.
Or does anyone have any good reasons why the flex project shouldn’t reside within the Rails folder hierarchy?
Cheers
From personal experience, it’s fine in the Rails folder structure. We have a “/flexsrc” folder a the rails project level in git, and when we build, the swf and related files are dumped to the /public area. It’s been this way for a while, and there’s no apparent drawback.
I think it would be more of a hassle to have two source depots.
