Rails Assert pipeline changes for controller-specific assets
By default, Rails 3.2 loads everything in app/javascripts and everything in app/stylesheets on
every page, despite controller-specific file naming. If you want to load controller-specific
files only on views from their respective controllers, you need to change the manifests and the
layout. The basic idea is to NOT require the entire trees, but only specific subfolders, in the
manifests, and then load the controller-specific files separately in the layout.
Any file you DO want loaded on every page should be placed in app/assets/javascripts/general or
app/assets/stylesheets/general.
For this to work in production, you also need to ensure that the individual files are precompiled by modifying your production.rb file, listing all of the controller-specific files.
class ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper
def draw(routes_name)
instance_eval(File.read(Rails.root.join("config/routes/#{routes_name}.rb")))
end
end
BCX::Application.routes.draw do
draw :api
draw :account

Play2 Simple HTTP API

Essential blueprint of Play2 architecture is pretty simple and it should be easy to explain in a fairly short blog post. The framework can be understood progressively at different levels; each time having better exposure to some aspects of its design.

The core of Play2 is really small, surrounded by a fair amount of useful APIs, services and structure to make Web Programming tasks easier.

Basically, Play2 is an API that abstractly have the folllowing type

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
