sprockets_helper
Sprocket is great for Rails 3.1 However, if you are still using Rails 3.0 it is suprisingly inconvenient to attach file fingerprint to asset files such as
<link href="http://localhost:3000/assets/application.css?97cb5298fef6238569b12e175bc19648" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This gem attempt to make this task a little easier
Installation
In Rails 3, add this to your Gemfile and run the bundle
command.
gem "cancan"
Usage
Continue using JavaScript and CSS helpers as you normally would. sprockets_helper will determine if the asset is managed by sprockets and if it is appropriate inclusion will be generated with fingerprint information.
If you have application.js managed by Sprockets, you can use any of the following to generate correct HTML code that will have asset file with fingerprint
javascript_include_tag("application")
javascript_include_tag("/assets/application")
javascript_include_tag("/assets/application.js")
stylesheet_link_tag("application.css")
stylesheet_link_tag("/assets/application.css", :media=>:all)
