The Plupload plugin is a good example. Here’s the listing of the plugin added to the vendor directory:

./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/css
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/css/jquery.plupload.queue.css
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/backgrounds.gif
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/buttons-disabled.png
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/buttons.png
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/delete.gif
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/done.gif
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/error.gif
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/throbber.gif
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/img/transp50.png
./plupload/jquery.plupload.queue/jquery.plupload.queue.js
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/css
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/css/jquery.ui.plupload.css
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/img
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/img/plupload-bw.png
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/img/plupload.png
./plupload/jquery.ui.plupload/jquery.ui.plupload.js
./plupload/plupload.browserplus.js
./plupload/plupload.flash.js
./plupload/plupload.flash.swf
./plupload/plupload.full.js
./plupload/plupload.gears.js
./plupload/plupload.html4.js
./plupload/plupload.html5.js
./plupload/plupload.js
./plupload/plupload.silverlight.js
./plupload/plupload.silverlight.xap

Instead of relocating these files into various stylesheets, javascripts, and images directories, it’s better to leave them in place and reference them with the Sprockets require directive. How is this done, particularly with respect to image files and other assets like .swf and .xap?

    I may be wrong, but, as mentioned in Rails documentation :

    This is not to say that assets can (or should) no longer be placed in
    public; they still can be and will be served as static files by the
    application or web server. You would only use app/assets if you wish
    your files to undergo some pre-processing before they are served.

    As you don’t want any pre-processing on these files, could the good old public folder be your answer?
