How to use with Rails

Follow 3 simple steps:

• Add frontrockets-builder.js in the root path.
• Install dependencies.
• Update .gitignore to exclude bundles.

frontrockets-builder.js:

var options = {
  entry: {
    // Custom:
    application: {
      javascripts: 'app/assets/javascripts/application.entry.js',
      stylesheets: 'app/assets/stylesheets/application.entry.css'
    }
  },

  output: {
    path: './vendor/assets',

    // Custom:
    filenameCss: 'stylesheets/dist/[name].css',
    filenameJs: 'javascripts/dist/[name].js',
    filenameImage: 'images/components/[name]-[sha512:hash:hex:6].[ext]',
    dirForImageRelativeToOutputPath: 'components/' // Hackish
  },

  // Patched:
  postcss: function(webpack) {
    return [
      require('precss'),
      require('autoprefixer')
    ];
  },

  // Custom:
  babelPresets: ['es2015']
};

module.exports = require('frontrockets-builder')(options);

Install dependencies:

npm install autoprefixer babel-preset-es2015 --save

Update gitignore by adding builder's bundles:

/vendor/assets/images/components
/vendor/assets/javascripts/dist
/vendor/assets/stylesheets/dist
