Replacing the Rails 5.1 asset pipeline with webpacker 3
My last post was about using webpacker v3 on Rails 5.1.
This time I want to explore how to replace the traditional sprockets-based asset pipeline completely.
Our goal will be to add Bootstrap v4 and jQuery v3 to an app, handled entirely through webpacker. We won’t even install the sprockets related gems.
We’ll also enable rails-ujs, turbolinks, and even images using webpacker.
