rails 4 asset pipeline image subdirectories

Question

I know this is probably an easy question but I am stumped here.

The application I am working on houses assets like so:

app
--assets
----fonts
----image         


        

Answer 1

In Rails 4+ any changes to asset paths should be made in:

config/initializers/assets.rb

To add all subdirectories in app/assets/images to the path, add the following:

Dir.glob("#{Rails.root}/app/assets/images/**/").each do |path|
  Rails.application.config.assets.paths << path
end

Afterwards, you can verify the asset paths in the rails console with the following:

Rails.application.config.assets.paths.each do |p|
  puts p
end
