This library adds AMD (via Almond) support to Sprockets.
What is AMD?
The AMD format is a way of encapsulating JavaScript libraries, ensuring they have to explicitly require and export properties they use.
This library
This library adds AMD support to Sprockets, so it can wrap up JavaScript files as modules, and serve them appropriately. This is done by using define_module
to declare a new module. You should put your files under app/assets/javascripts/modules/
.
define_module(["backbone"], function(BB) {});
Sprockets will then postprocess your JS and insert the correct logical asset name as module name.
define("tickets/controller", ["backbone"], function(BB) {});
Usage
- Add
gem 'sprockets-almond'
to yourGemfile
- Add
//= require sprockets/almond
to yourapplication.js
- Require all the modules, e.g.:
//= require_tree ./models
