Acquire Asset Path from JavaScript

Question

I need to display images on an HTML5 canvas that are in the Rails asset pipeline, but I need to know the path for the asset from JavaScript. I\'m using js-routes for other parts

Answer 1

Checkout the js_assets(Javascript helper in rails projects) gem. I think it is precisely what you need.

From the documentation:

Get the path to the template app/assets/javascripts/rubrics/views/index.html in javascript: var path = asset_path('rubrics/views/index.html')
