Gumbo

Gumbo is a standalone asset packager for creating HTML files that link to a single CSS and single JS file, which includes an MD5 in the file name to make the asset package files cacheable for indefinite amounts of time.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gumbo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gumbo

To see an example of how this works, look at examples/todo. To build the assets, in that directory, run:

$ gumbo

To make changes and have them automatically built, you can install guard-shell and run:

$ guard

The way is works is that you put your assets in the assets directory. In the assets directory, there is a packages.yml file that looks like:

js:
  todo:
    - todo.coffee
    - templates/todo.eco

css:
  todo:
    - reset.css
    - style.css

What this means is that there is one js package called todo and one css package called todo. When the assets are built, they will be put into a directory called public along side assets.

Static HTML files can be generated from dynamic content using the Liquid templating language. In this example, the names of the asset packages with an MD5 timestamp of the contents are included in the resulting HTML file that is created in the public directory.
