📜 Rails asset management has changed a lot since 2004 — Sprockets, Webpacker, Import Maps, Propshaft… This guide walks you through every era and how to spot what your app is using today. cassey.dev/rails-frontend…
@jchibbard I love "how to spot what your app is using today". Just went through a pair prog session w/ my colleague to do just that - turns out we have a hybrid of propshaft and importmap split bt main app and admin pages!
@jakeonrails Me, too. I'm currently dusting off a Rails 4-era app that's since been bumped to 5 and then 6, so this is perfect for working out what's where.
@jakeonrails @jchibbard I really good use of Claude is to have it upgrade everything. I dusted off a Rails 7 app for @BeautifulRubyHQ course and let Claude delete webpacker and get things working with importmaps.
