stitch_rails
Inspired by https://gist.github.com/1153919
Brings require to Rails Sprockets.
All .coffee file will be wrapped as require.define.
require("foo/bar") will load file app/assets/javascripts/foo/bar.js.coffee and execute it.
Example
Gemfile:
group :assets do
gem 'stitch_rails', '~>0.0.7'
end
config/application.rb:
module YourApp
class Application < Rails::Application
# .... omit ....
# file names listed here are not wraped in `require.define`, so they
# are executed immediatly. Handy for an app start point. Otherwise you
# have add an .js file to require your start file. Suffix should not be added here.
# Glob pattern is also supported.
config.stitch.excludes = %w(application *_spec jasminerice)
end
endapp/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee:
# These are sprockets require that used to includes js files. Since
# .coffee file are wrapped as module, the js code is only executed when
# javascript function `require` is invoked.
#
#= require jquery
#
# Must load stitch_rails before any other coffee file, it defines the global method `require`
#
#= require stitch_rails
#= require_tree ./
#= require_this
#
# Since this file is in stitch excludes, code here are executed when it is loaded:
$ ->
Greet = require('models/greet')
greet = new Greet()
greet.sayHi()app/assets/javascripts/models/greet.js.coffee
class Greet
sayHi: ->
alert 'Hello, World'
module.exports = GreetSee more about CommonJS module in http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Modules/1.1
TODO
- Make it work for Sprockets without Rails
