#4 Asset Pipeline

[Sam Hamilton]

Building on the last feature request for grouping within config files I also would like to propose that Moqui implements a version of the RoR Asset Pipeline.

This allows front end developers to work on the uncompress css & javascript and the server in production compresses and minimises the css & js and more importantly adds a version (md5 checksum to the filename) to the files to avoid cache problems.

Rails has a great description of Asset Pipeline here http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html

Thanks

This looks very do-able (ie minimize and compress on the fly and cached, and produce an md5 on request, also cached).

That sounds great, that would make the front end development and deployment much more efficient.

Thanks
