Dojo modules then go under app/assets/custom -- may be written in Coffeescript, if desired.

Hi scottb, thanks for the gist.

How do you dojo.require files then? I get 404 on the dojo.require'd files.

At the end of the first javacript_include_tag, it configures Dojo's modulePaths. In the example, it tells it to find modules starting with "custom" under the path "custom". So, if you create a module, say "custom.test", and put it app/assets/javascripts/custom/test.js, you'd load it with: dojo.require( "custom.test");

You can change the modulePaths in the include to be whatever you need for your particular modules.
