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.
