Rails 4: Where to put JavaScript/CSS plugins

Question

I have Rails 4rc1 application. I need to integrate some JavaScript / CSS plugins / 3rd party libraries/ to my application. I know vendor/plugins directories are deprecated i

Answer 1

It sounds like you may be asking about third-party javascripts & CSS - not Rails plugins. I prefer to put my third-party scripts under vendor/assets, like so:

RAILS_ROOT
  \- vendor
    \- assets
      \- javascripts
       - stylesheets

Then you can access them in your application.* files like this:

// application.js
//= require_tree vendor/javascripts

/* application.css */
*= require vendor
