Gem integrates parcel JS module bundler into your Rails application. It is inspired by gems such as breakfast or webpacker.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'parcel-rails'Then run
$ bin/rails g parcel
Currently parcel is not integrated with rails s so you need a process manager like foreman to run both rails s and parcel.
Create Procfile.dev, with the following content:
web: bin/rails s
parcel: bin/rails parcel:serve
Then run foreman start -f Procfile.dev
Gem hooks up to the assets:precompile and assets:clobber, so no special setup is required.
You can start parcel's compilation process manually by running
rake parcel:compile
Use Rails generic helpers to include assets in your views
javascript_include_tag '/parcels/application'
stylesheet_link_tag '/parcels/application'
After running generator, configuration can be found in config/initializers/parcel.rb.
config.parcel.entry_points = %w(app/javascript/application.js)
config.parcel.destination = 'public/parcels'
Currently only single entry point is supported, it is limitation coming from Parcel itself and not the gem.
