I am looking to create static error pages (like the 404, 422 and 500 pages given by Rails) which have the same theme as the app does.
The theme of the app is in stylesheets in my assets pipeline. How do I connect to the stylesheets from my static pages?
I'm just trying to this myself and it looks like http://neovintage.blogspot.de/2012/02/precompile-static-html-pages-with-rails.html is a good way to do it.
What it Rimas Silkaitis suggests there is to add an html assets folder (for your error pages) which is then precompiled along with your other assets. This allows you to use ERB and the asset helper functions.
This does not easily work in your development environment though.

Im trying to upload static files(images and js) from "static" folder. And it works fine for index file and base route localhost:8000/, but if I go to the next route localhost:8000/reviews/master001 then static files disappears and I receive by route localhost:8000/reviews/js. And there is two things, first is how to remove prefix "reviews"?
I tried to use in nuxt.config.js
static: {
prefix: false
}
by documentation, but it does not work. Tried to use paths in nuxt.config like "../js", "#/static/js", "/js" - this one works for index file.
Also there are no any static files after I go through the router-link such it in nuxt documentation for path localhost:8000/reviews/master001.
Here there are.
And here there no any files.
As explained in the comments above, images should be in assets and static is only aimed for specific use cases, like exposing a publicly accessible .pdf file.
If you want to install and use jQuery properly into your Nuxt project, you can follow my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68414170/8816585
If you want to load a specific script and cannot do it in a more cleaner way (with NPM), you can also follow the instructions there: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67535277/8816585
Use this as a last resort tho and be aware that it will increase bundle size and loading time.
I have a website built with a Strapi/Nuxt stack.
I can make it totally static, instead of pre-rendering pages, but I still need to retrieve the images or other assets from Strapi, so I still do need a server.
During the "compilation", the Strapi API is fetched and the contents used to pre-render all the pages I want: would be possible to also download all the assets into the dist directory during the nuxt generate operation?
During the build, you can query Strapi's API and get the assets URL, nothing blocking you here.
Otherwise, you could also download the file itself and write it down into your project.
Here is one my answer that you can get some ideas from: How to access remote data and write it into a file during Nuxt build?
It's not Webpack's job to do this neither. As a pre-build tool, I guess that you can use nodejs-file-downloader and use it at the top of your nuxt.config.js file.
This one looks great and is active: https://github.com/hgouveia/node-downloader-helper
I am currently merging a project from server-side rendering to static page rendering. According to the docs since nuxt 2.13 You can set the target to static inside of nuxt.config and run nuxt generate. This is correctly generating an html file for each file within my pages folder, however my pages lack all the styles. I am not sure if this behavior is expected or if I am missing something. I am currently using scss and bootstrap for the project. Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to include PIE.htc in my Rails application to make CSS3 easier for IE. I can't seem to figure out how to include the PIE.htc file.
I tried to include PIE.htc in my assets folder as well as assets/stylesheets folder, but I no routes matching error.
How do I include PIE.htc with rails asset pipeline?
Try the solution in this post: Using PIE.htc in rails
Basically, it should be:
behavior: url(/assets/PIE.htc);
Also, if you want to be completely sure that the PIE.htc file is being loaded, open it and add an alert as so:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("PIE works);
If the file if being loaded, a popup should appear showing the message.
I am trying to put some external images (used by a jQuery plugin) to vendor/assets/images in my Rails 3.1 app. Problem is that when I try something like:
<%= image_tag "ui-bg_flat_75_ffffff_40x100.png" %>
I get an error:
No route matches [GET] "/assets/ui-bg_flat_75_ffffff_40x100.png"
I checked my Rails.application.config.assets.paths and it list these dirs:
..../app/assets/images
..../app/assets/javascripts
..../app/assets/stylesheets
..../vendor/assets/images
..../vendor/assets/stylesheets
..../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#mygems/gems/jquery-rails-1.0.9/vendor/assets/javascripts
As you can see /vendor/assets/images is listed there. If I put my image to app/assets/images everything works.
I thought that new asset pipeline was supposed to go through all assets dirs and serve requested file wherever it finds it.
Does anyone knows what's the problem here?
I had to restart my rails server after creating the vendor/assets/images directory. Before this, I was seeing the same error as you ("No route matches [GET]").
My guess is that the rails server does not check these directories if they did not exist when it was first started. When you open a rails console to diagnose the issue, you get a new instance of rails which knows about the directory, which only adds to the confusion.
If you are using a jQuery UI Theme Roller theme then the problem might be that in the jquery-ui css file the images are referenced within a sub folder 'images'.
I.e. you either have to put your images in a folder './app/assets/images/images' or you have to edit the jquery-ui css file and remove the 'images/' folder prefix.
The asset pipeline is described in this rails guide by Ryan Bigg (draft status at the moment).
http://ryanbigg.com/guides/asset_pipeline.html and http://ryanbigg.com/2011/06/sprocket-asset-tags-internals/ for the references.
According to this, your example should work.
Extract:
Assets can be placed inside an application in one of three locations: app/assets, lib/assets or vendor/assets.
app/assets is for assets that are owned by the application, such as custom images, javascript files or stylesheets.
lib/assets is for your own libraries’ code that doesn’t really fit into the scope of the application or those libraries which are shared across applications.
vendor/assets is for assets that are owned by outside entities, such as code for JavaScript plugins.
Any subdirectory that exists within these three locations will be added to the search path for Sprockets (visible by calling Rails.application.config.assets.paths in a console). When an asset is requested, these paths will be looked through to see if they contain an asset matching the name specified. Once an asset has been found, it’s processed by Sprockets and then served up.
I have tested with an example in my app and the same syntax as yours works. Maybe you have a typo in the name of your asset.
For Martin: search path for Sprockets is visible by calling Rails.application.config.assets.paths in a console.
Maybe you should create another folder in /assets/images. You make a name 'images' and then you just copy all jquery-ui image and paste on folder 'images' that you create before. Hopefully this will help you.
