Serve npm (CommonJS) modules through Sprockets with the help of Browserify.
Node.js, obviously. This gem calls node directly, no ExecJS involved.
Add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'sprockets-browserify'
Place a CommonJS Module in your assets directory and perform a npm install:
/app/assets/javascript/foo
- index.js
- package.json
- node_modules/
- ...
Require the module within your application.js or somewhere else:
// //= require foo/index //
Done.
Your node module should fulfill the following requirements:
The main file for the module must reside in the same directory as the package.json, in the root of the module
The main file should expose its API in some way to the browser environment, by setting propertes on window or sth. like that
If you want to use a module that doesn’t conform, consider creating a wrapper module in you assets directory that requires the module you actually want to use:
foo_wrapper/package.json:
...
"dependencies": {
"foo": ...
},
...
foo_wrapper/index.js:
window.Foo = require('foo');
foo_wrapper/node_modules/foo/index.js:
module.exports = "Foo";
By default, the asset pipeline in Rails precompiles every file with a .js extension. This is probably not what you want if you have a bunch of modules in the node_modules directory. Disable this behavior by specifically listing only individual files you want to precompile:
config.assets.precompile = ['main.js', 'stylesheet.css']
instead of merely appending to
config.assets.precompile << 'main.js'
