gulp-sprockets

gulp-sprockets is a NodeJS implementation of Sprockets. It is able to build and precompile assets of Rails apps solely with Node.js, without Rails.
gulp-sprockets interprets Sprockets directives to concatenate asset files.
And you no longer need to hit the command rake assets:precompile.

Provided gulp streams

• sprockets.css provides things of asset pipeline for CSS/SCSS/Sass.
• sprockets.js provides things of asset pipeline for JavaScript/CoffeeScript.
• sprockets.precompile provides things of asset precompiling.

Installation

npm install gulp-sprockets

Usage

gulpfile.babel.js

import gulp from 'gulp';
import gulpLoadPlugins from 'gulp-load-plugins';
import runSequence from 'run-sequence';

const $ = gulpLoadPlugins({ lazy: false });
const assetsPaths = {
  app: "./app/assets",
  javascripts: [],
  stylesheets: [],
  images: []
};
const destPath = "./public/assets";
const release = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'release'

// initialize sprockets!
$.sprockets.declare(assetsPaths, destPath);


/**
 * Sprockets way
 */

gulp.task('build:image', () => {
  return gulp.src([assetsPaths.app + '/images/**/*.png'])
    .pipe($.if(release, $.sprockets.precompile()))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(destPath))
});

gulp.task('build:js', () => {
  return gulp.src([assetsPaths.app + '/javascripts/*.js'])
    .pipe($.sprockets.js())
    .pipe($.if(release, $.sprockets.precompile()))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(destPath))
});

gulp.task('build:css', () => {
  return gulp.src([assetsPaths.app + '/stylesheets/*.css'])
    .pipe($.cached('css'))
    .pipe($.sprockets.css({precompile: release}))
    .pipe($.if(release, $.sprockets.precompile()))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(destPath))
});

gulp.task('default', () => {
  // the task of building image must be processed before others
  runSequence('build:image', ['build:css', 'build:js']);
})

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "gulp"
  },
  ...
}

And then do build command.

$ npm run build
