Support for CDN about jquery-rails HOT 5 CLOSED

I think cdn support is outside the scope of what jquery-rails is trying to accomplish. It would be trivially easy to include jquery from whichever cdn you wish without using this gem. In fact, if that's what you're trying to do, I don't know why you'd even want to use this gem, as it basically just bundles up jquery and jquery-ujs into your asset pipeline.

The problem is I want to use local copy while developing so I don't need an internet connection.

But alright, I've got your point.

Ah, I see. The best way would probably be to put the jquery-rails gem in the development and test groups in your gemfile, and then have a javascript_include_tag in your layout that manually includes jquery from the cdn when Rails.env == 'production'.

But how can I define wich version is distributed with gem?
So I can write something like javascript_include_tag 'google/cdn/path/#{VERSION}/jquery.min.js' and don't be worry that after gem update there will be diffrent jQuery versions in production and on local machine.

ADDED: And also one should include jquery-rails gem even in production because they need jquery_ujs.

FYI, I created a new gem specifically catered to that requirement.
