How to change the asset path in RubyOnRails | December 10, 2005-->

December 10, 2005

If you don't want to name your asset directories for javascript files and stylesheets "javascripts" and "stylesheets" here is how you can change the default path settings. Add the following snippet to your app/controllers/application.rb:

module ActionView
  module Helpers
    module AssetTagHelper
      # Returns path to a javascript asset. Example:
      #
      #   javascript_path "xmlhr" # => /javascripts/xmlhr.js      
      def javascript_path(source)
        compute_public_path(source, 'js', 'js')        
      end
      # Returns path to a stylesheet asset. Example:
      #
      #   stylesheet_path "style" # => /stylesheets/style.css
      def stylesheet_path(source)
        compute_public_path(source, 'css', 'css')
      end      
    end
  end
end
