Using pre-compiled assets in Rails Development Environment

 if you want to use the pre-compiled assets in Development Environment then follow these steps:

1. Edit development.rb : Add the following lines inside your config/environments/development.rb


  config.assets.debug = false
  # Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this).
  config.serve_static_assets = true

  # Compress JavaScripts and CSS.
  config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier
  # config.assets.css_compressor = :sass

  # Do not fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed.
  config.assets.compile = false

  # Generate digests for assets URLs.
  config.assets.digest = true


if you want to compile your other assets like assets/your_dir/ style.css ,assets/your_dir/ custom.js etc then add the following line in your  config/environments/development.rb

 config.assets.precompile += %w( your_dir/style.css, your_dir/custom.js)




2. Compile your assets in Development Environment: compile your assets by the following command

rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=development

3. Restart your Rails server: Now restart your server and your application will serve compile assets in development environment.
