1 # RequireResource v.1.4 by Duane Johnson
3 # Makes inclusion of javascript and stylesheet resources easier via automatic or explicit
4 # calls. e.g. require_javascript 'popup' is an explicit call.
6 # The simplest way to make use of this functionality is to add
8 # to your layout (usually in the <head></head> section). This will automatically add
9 # bundle support to your application, as well as enable simple javascript and stylesheet
10 # dependencies for your views.
12 # Note that this can easily be turned in to a helper on its own.
