问题
I have a bunch of static assets ( not jpg, css, & js) - rather files like pdf forms, xls that I need to serve to users. They rarely change. Before I used to store them in public folder, but with the introduction of the assets pipeline in rails 3.1 what is the best place to store files like that now now?
thanks
回答1:
Actually I just tested it by creating a folder in app/assets/files and sticking my xls files in there, and rake assets:precompile task just picked it up.
Also this needs to be added for Rails < 3.1:
# Enable the asset pipeline
config.assets.enabled = true
config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/files"

The best place for items like this is still in the /public
directory, remember to have your web server serve these assets directly also.
The assets directory is only needed if you want to take advantage of the asset pipeline. The asset pipeline handles things from compressing and compiling .coffee
and .less
or sass
files to compressing your js and css into one file so your webserver only has to serve one file for each.
When you compile your assets with the rake task bundle exec rake assets:precompile
they are moved to your public directory anyhow.
