Repository files navigation

The master branch is the 4.x version of Middleman-Sprockets.

Middleman-Sprockets

middleman-sprockets is an extension for the Middleman static site generator that allows support for Sprockets in your assets.

Installation

If you're just getting started, install the middleman gem and generate a new project:

gem install middleman
middleman init MY_PROJECT

Then add gem "middleman-sprockets" to your Gemfile and run bundle install

To activate the extension, in your config.rb add:

activate :sprockets

Usage

Configuration

There are currently two options for configuration, imported_asset_path and expose_middleman_helpers.

imported_asset_path [default: 'assets']

This is the path imported/linked assets will be added to the sitemap. For example, in the bower fixture app, the /javascripts/core.js file has //= link "lightbox2/img/close.png". This linked asset will be added to the sitemap at /assets/lightbox2/img/close.png.

To configure, in config.rb:

activate :sprockets do |c|
  c.imported_asset_path = "YOUR_PATH"
end

You can also pass an object (proc/lambda/class) that responds to #call to imported_asset_path to conditionally determine where assets go.

activate :sprockets do |c|
  c.imported_asset_path = ->(sprockets_asset) do
    if sprockets_asset.logical_path =~ /\.js$/
      # all files ending with .js get put in /vendor-js
      File.join('vendor-js', sprockets_asset.logical_path)
    else
      # other assets head to /imported
      File.join('imported', sprockets_asset.logical_path)
    end
  end
end

View the imported_asset_processor test for an example using a class.

expose_middleman_helpers [default: false]

Sometimes you might need sprockets to have access helpers (for example using different keys depending on deployment environment). Getting this to happen is bound to be full of edge cases, so for now it's behind a configuration option.

If you need Middleman helpers in your Sprockets, in config.rb:

activate :sprockets do |c|
  c.expose_middleman_helpers = true
end

The best way to get quick responses to your issues and swift fixes to your bugs is to submit detailed bug reports, include test cases and respond to developer questions in a timely manner. Even better, if you know Ruby, you can submit Pull Requests containing Cucumber Features which describe how your feature should work or exploit the bug you are submitting.

How to Run Cucumber Tests

  1. Checkout Repository: git clone https://github.com/middleman/middleman-sprockets.git
  2. Install Bundler: gem install bundler
  3. Run bundle install inside the project root to install the gem dependencies.
  4. Run test cases: bundle exec rake test
