connect-assets-jsprimer's Introduction

connect-assets-jsprimer

An NPM module that forces compilation of your javascript connect-assets without referencing them in a view.

Problems This Helps With

You are using requireJS and don't want to reference all your javascript files in the view.
You have a javascript file that is dynamically loaded on your page but not in the view.

Installation

npm install connect-assets-jsprimer

There is a dependency on CoffeeScript. If you want a straight javascript version, you can compile it easily yourself.

Usage

assets = require 'connect-assets'
jsPrimer = require 'connect-assets-jsprimer'

# Snip ...

app.use assets()
jsPrimer.loadFiles assets

# Optionally, you can pass in a log function to see progress
# jsPrimer.loadFiles assets, console.log

connect-assets-jsprimer's Issues

Ignoring .swp.js files

Hey,

I like this package quite a bit but I am running into a problems while developing with it.

I use vim to develop and vim creates .swp.js files. They are hidden by default (prefix with .) but your primer tries to server them. Is there a simple work around for this?

Best,
Jeremy

Example usage doesn't work

jsPrimer exports an object, not a function, so you can't run

jsPrimer assets

I think the example usage should read

jsPrimer.loadFiles assets

Watched files in windows environment getting 'No file found for route'

Watched files are throwing an error in a windows environment. The cause is the slash '' that windows use is not correctly dealt with in the FileLoader.

Getting the following error back:

Error: No file found for route js/ssets\js\main.js

I have debugged the error back to the FileLoader. The correct path is assets\js\{filename}
