I'm building a custom action for rails admin that includes a custom view. I want to include a local copy of sparkline.js but I can't figure out a way to do this.

I tried to add the sparkline.js to the /vendor/assets/javascripts/actions/action_name directory but it is not loaded by rails admin

Is there any other way to get this file loaded

  • @phoet mhh I had this solution in mind but the problem is that my changes to custom/ui.js would be overwritten by the users own changes. Antoher way would be to tell the user he should require the file in his custom/ui.js but thats not the best way I think :\ Commented Jun 28, 2013 at 14:18

I did this by putting the external library into the app/assets/javascripts/rails_admin/custom directory and adding a 'require' statement to the rails_admin ui.js file.

i.e.

// in app/assets/javascripts/rails_admin/custom/ui.js
//= require ./sparkline.js

You can do this with coffeescript too:

# in app/assets/javascripts/rails_admin/custom/ui.js.coffee
#= require ./sparkline.js
