Understanding the Asset Pipeline in Ruby on Rails

[@Webcrunch]

Note: Right around 20:08 I try and require “log.js”. It turns out you don’t even need to require it thanks to the “require_tree . ” declaration below it in the same file. I also spelled “require” wrong.🤦🏼‍♂️ I just wanted to clear that up!

Hey Andy, thanks for the tour.

Just wanted to share my experience. It took me a week to figure out how to import bought templates(themeforest) into Ruby on Rails using Asset Pipelines. And when everything’s worked, another issue came up which is the time to load all the assets (js,css, etc..). I can’t isolated which JS/CSS files needs to be load, in results of slow loading time. Not to mention some headaches when you try to deploy it. You either choose only one UI framework, or UI framework without JS, or just build a Rails API and use React as your front-end. Great video. Keep it up!

Hey, were you able to isolate which JS/CSS files needs to be load?

Andy. Would love to see how you'd configure "webpacker" in rails projects!

[@Webcrunch]

I can do that!

[@cratag7190]

How do you do that .container thing in visual code? Great video!

[@Webcrunch]

I think what you're describing is a VS Code extension I use called Emmet.

@@Webcrunch Wow, thank you for the quick reply. Cheers mate, you're a great teacher

Hello can you cover in another video how to handle CSS styles overriding each other when using the asset pipeline? Thank you for your help! In my rails application I'm currently wrapping each page with a unique section tag so that the CSS I write will only affect that page, but I feel like there is a better way to handle this situation.

Dear Andy! Are our planning to publish a movie about Rails and GraphQL?

[@Webcrunch]

It has been on my radar. I'll definitely look into it!

I'd like to see blockbuster on ruby on rails

What if I don't have the manifest.js file ?
