Dead simple HTML-based assets helper for Ruby. The main idea is to promote re-usability between projects. Great for Static Site Generators, Apps, Rails Engines, etc.

• Simplify your asset management in a sane way
• Promote Re-usability across Projects
• Works with any Ruby website generator or framework

gem "simple_assets"

Create your asset definitions:

# config/initializers/simple_assets/my-asset.rb

SimpleAssets.add("my-asset") do |opts|
  html = ""

  if opts[:only] == "css"
    html += <<~EOL
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="#{ENV["CDN_URL"]}/my-asset/#{opts[:version]}/my-asset.min.css" />
    EOL
  end

  if opts[:only] == "js"
    html += <<~EOL
      <script src="#{ENV["CDN_URL"]}/my-asset/#{opts[:version]}/my-asset.min.js"></script>

      <script type"text/javascript">
        $(document).on('ready', function(){
          MyAsset.init();
        });
      </script>
    EOL
  end

  html
end

For another example definition please view the default bootstrap asset definition

Note: I recommend using a seperate file for each asset so that its easy to copy custom assets from one project to another

Then in your view file call the following function:

<%= SimpleAssets.render("my-asset", version: "1.0.0", foo: "bar") %>

Note: When SimpleAssets.render is called the lambda/proc is called using .call. It does not cache the output string so as to enable for more dynamic usage.

In an effort to save time and energy this gem comes bundled with a small default set of libraries that I think every application could benefit from. These defaults can easily be overwritten using the SimpleAssets.add method.

Please create an issue if you truly feel another library should be included here. Please note that this library does not target any specific Ruby framework or site generator, so only recommend libraries that apply to all possible use-cases.
