sprockets
A Ruby library for compiling and serving web assets with declarative dependency management and a preprocessor pipeline.
What is sprockets?
Sprockets is a Ruby library for compiling and serving web assets like JavaScript and CSS in Ruby applications. It provides declarative dependency management through directives and a preprocessor pipeline that supports languages like CoffeeScript, Sass, and ES6, solving the problem of managing complex asset dependencies and transformations.
Ruby developers building web applications, particularly those using frameworks like Rails that integrate Sprockets for asset management. It's also for library developers extending asset processing functionality.
Developers choose Sprockets for its seamless integration with Ruby ecosystems, powerful directive system for managing dependencies, and extensible pipeline that supports a wide range of preprocessors out of the box.
