9
+ Shakapacker is the official, actively maintained successor to
10
+ [rails/webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker). It gives Rails apps a
11
+ manifest-backed bridge to webpack 5 or Rspack, with view helpers, installer
12
+ tasks, binstubs, and configuration conventions that still allow direct bundler
13
+ customization.

58
+ ## Why Shakapacker
59
+
60
+ - Rails-native manifest integration and view helpers for bundled assets.
61
+ - Support for webpack 5 and first-class Rspack builds.
62
+ - JavaScript and TypeScript transpilation through SWC, Babel, or esbuild.
63
+ - Development binstubs for watch mode and the webpack dev server.
64
+ - Code splitting, HMR, CDN asset hosts, Subresource Integrity, and HTTP 103
65
+ Early Hints support.
66
+ - Compatibility with npm, Yarn, pnpm, and Bun.
67
+ - Optional `shakapacker-webpack` and `shakapacker-rspack` packages in 10.1+
68
+ that consolidate the managed bundler stack into one dependency.
69
+

+ ## Installation
87
+
88
+ For an existing Rails app:
89
+
90
+ ```bash
91
+ bundle add shakapacker --strict
92
+ bundle exec rake shakapacker:install
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ For a new Rails 6+ app:
35
96
 
36
- Shakapacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript pre-processor and bundler [Webpack v5+](https://webpack.js.org/)
37
- to manage frontend JavaScript in Rails. It can coexist with the asset pipeline,
38
- leaving Webpack responsible solely for frontend JavaScript, or can be used exclusively, making it also responsible for images, fonts, and CSS.
97
+ ```bash
98
+ rails new myapp --skip-javascript
99
+ cd myapp
100
+ bundle add shakapacker --strict
101
+ bundle exec rake shakapacker:install
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ See the [installation guide](https://shakapacker.com/docs/installation/) for
105
+ requirements, package-manager selection, non-interactive installer modes, and
106
+ verification steps.
107
+
108
+ ## Upgrading
109
+
110
+ Shakapacker ships as both a Ruby gem and an npm package; keep them on matching
111
+ versions. Use the [common upgrade guides](https://shakapacker.com/docs/common-upgrades/)
112
+ for package-manager changes, Babel-to-SWC migration, webpack-to-Rspack migration,
113
+ and release-to-release upgrade paths.
39
114
 
40
- Check out 6.1.1+ for [SWC](https://swc.rs/) and [esbuild-loader](https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader) support! They are faster than Babel!

140
- ## Prerequisites
141
-
142
- - Ruby 2.7+
143
- - Rails 5.2+
144
- - Node.js `^20.19.0` or `>=22.12.0`
145
-
146
- ## Features
147
-
148
- - Rails view helpers that fully support Webpack output, including HMR and code splitting.
149
- - Convenient but not required webpack configuration. The only requirement is that your webpack configuration creates a manifest.
150
- - HMR with the `shakapacker-dev-server`, such as for hot-reloading React!
151
- - Automatic code splitting using multiple entry points to optimize JavaScript downloads.
152
- - Support for [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm), Yarn ([classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/) and [berry](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started)), [PNPM](https://pnpm.io/), and [Bun](https://bun.sh/)
153
- - [Webpack v5+](https://webpack.js.org/)
154
- - ES6 with [babel](https://babeljs.io/), [SWC](https://swc.rs/), or [Esbuild](https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader)
155
- - Asset compression, source-maps, and minification
156
- - CDN support
157
- - Extensible and configurable. For example, all major dependencies are specified as peers, so you can upgrade easily.
158
-
159
- ### Optional support
160
-
161
- _Requires extra packages to be installed._
162
-
163
- - React
164
- - TypeScript
165
- - Stylesheets - Sass, Less, Stylus and Css, PostCSS
166
- - CoffeeScript
167
-
168
- ## Installation
169
-
170
- See the [Installation guide](./docs/installation.md) for a step-by-step walkthrough.
171
-
172
- ### Rails v6+
173
-
174
- With Rails v6+, skip JavaScript for a new app and follow below Manual Installation Steps to manually add the `shakapacker` gem to your Gemfile.
175
-
176
- ```bash
177
- rails new myapp --skip-javascript
178
- ```
179
-
180
- _Note, Rails 6 installs the older v5 version of webpacker unless you specify `--skip-javascript`._
181
-
182
- Add `shakapacker` gem to your `Gemfile`:
183
-
184
- ```bash
185
- bundle add shakapacker --strict
186
- ```
187
-
188
- Then run the following to install Shakapacker:
189
-
190
- ```bash
191
- ./bin/bundle install
192
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:install
193
- ```
194
-
195
- Before initiating the installation process, ensure you have committed all changes. During install, Shakapacker may encounter conflicts with existing files. You can approve prompts interactively, use `FORCE=true` to overwrite without prompting, or use `SKIP=true` to preserve existing files and only create missing ones. Accepted truthy values are `true`, `1`, and `yes` (case-insensitive). If both are set, `FORCE` takes precedence.
196
-
197
- Shakapacker uses the [`package_json`](https://github.com/shakacode/package_json) gem to handle updating the `package.json` and interacting with the underlying package manager of choice for managing dependencies and running commands; the package manager is managed using the [`packageManager`](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packagemanager) property in the `package.json`, otherwise falling back to the value of `PACKAGE_JSON_FALLBACK_MANAGER` if set or otherwise `npm`.
198
-
199
- If `packageManager` is not set when running `shakapacker:install`, Shakapacker will set it based on the lockfile and the result of calling `--version` on the inferred manager; if no lockfile is present, then `npm` be used unless you choose to explicitly set the `PACKAGE_JSON_FALLBACK_MANAGER` to your preferred package manager.
200
-
201
- > [!NOTE]
202
- >
203
- > The `packageManager` property is only used to determine the package manager to use, based primarily on its name.
204
- > The version (if present) is only used to determine if Yarn Classic or Yarn Berry should be used, but is otherwise
205
- > _not_ checked, nor is [`corepack`](https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html) used to ensure that the package manager is installed.
206
- >
207
- > It is up to the developer to ensure that the desired package manager is actually install at the right version, which can be done
208
- > using `corepack` or by other means.
209
-
210
- See [here](https://github.com/G-Rath/package_json#specifying-a-package-manager) for a list of the supported package managers and more information; note that `package_json` does not handle ensuring the manager is installed.
211
-
212
- If you wish to use [Yarn PnP](https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp) you will need to configure Babel using a `babel.config.js` file rather than via `package.json` - see [customizing Babel Config](./docs/customizing_babel_config.md) for examples on how to do this.
213
-
214
- > [!NOTE]
215
- >
216
- > The rest of the documentation will only reference `npm` when providing commands such as to install optional packages except in cases where
217
- > a particular package manager requires a very different command; otherwise it should be safe to just replace `npm` with the name of your
218
- > preferred package manager when running the command
219
-
220
- Note, in v6+, most JS packages are peer dependencies. During `shakapacker:install`, Shakapacker
221
- adds the subset required for your chosen bundler/transpiler setup rather than forcing every
222
- supported package into every app.
223
-
224
- See:
225
-
226
- - [Optional Peer Dependencies](./docs/optional-peer-dependencies.md) for how optional peers work
227
- - [Shakapacker's Peer Dependencies](./docs/peer-dependencies.md) for the current supported version ranges
228
-
229
- This keeps installation flexible while still making the supported dependency ranges explicit.
230
-
231
- ### Optional Peer Dependencies
232
-
233
- All peer dependencies in Shakapacker are marked as optional via `peerDependenciesMeta`. This design decision ensures:
234
-
235
- - **No warnings during package installation** when dependencies are not needed
236
- - **Clear visibility of supported package versions** for upgrades
237
- - **Flexibility to choose only the tools you need** (webpack vs rspack, babel vs swc vs esbuild)
238
-
239
- The optional peer dependencies approach means you only install what you actually use, while still maintaining
240
- version compatibility constraints when you do install those packages.
241
-
242
- #### Required Dependencies by Configuration
243
-
244
- Depending on your setup, you'll need different subsets of the optional peer dependencies:
245
-
246
- **For Webpack + Babel (traditional setup):**
247
-
248
- ```json

302
- **Quick tip:** You can easily switch between webpack and rspack using:
303
-
304
- ```bash
305
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:switch_bundler rspack -- --install-deps
306
-
307
- # For faster switching, use --no-uninstall to keep both bundlers installed
308
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:switch_bundler webpack -- --install-deps --no-uninstall
309
- ```
310
-
311
- See the [Rspack Migration Guide](./docs/rspack_migration_guide.md) for details.

-
315
- ```json
316
- {
317
- "dependencies": {
318
- "css-loader": "^6.8.1",

- }
324
- ```
325
-
326
- ## Concepts
327
-
328
- At its core, Shakapacker's essential function is to:
329
-
330
- 1. Provide configuration by a single file used by both Rails view helpers and JavaScript webpack compilation code.
331
- 2. Provide Rails view helpers, utilizing this configuration file so that a webpage can load JavaScript, CSS, and other static assets compiled by webpack, supporting bundle splitting, fingerprinting, and HMR.
332
- 3. Provide a community-supported, default webpack compilation that generates the necessary bundles and manifest, using the same configuration file. This compilation can be extended for any needs.
333
-
334
- ## Usage
335
-
336
- ### Configuration and Code
337
-
338
- **📖 For a comprehensive guide to all configuration options, see the [Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md)**
339
-
340
- **📦 For Node package exports and config object docs, see the [Node Package API Guide](./docs/node_package_api.md)**
341
-
342
- This includes documentation for:
343
-
344
- - All `config/shakapacker.yml` options (including `assets_bundler_config_path`)
345
- - Environment-specific configuration
346
- - Development server settings
347
- - Build configurations (`config/shakapacker-builds.yml`)
348
- - Best practices and common patterns
349
-
350
- You will need your file system to correspond to the setup of your `config/shakapacker.yml` file.
351
-
352
- Suppose you have the following configuration:
353
-
354
- `shakapacker.yml`
355
-
356
- ```yml
357
- default: &default
358
- source_path: app/javascript
359
- source_entry_path: packs
360
- public_root_path: public
361
- public_output_path: packs
362
- nested_entries: false
363
- # And more
364
- ```
365
-
366
- And that maps to a directory structure like this:
367
-
368
- ```
369
- app/javascript:
370
- └── packs: # sets up webpack entries
371
- │ └── application.js # references ../src/my_component.js
372
- │ └── application.css
373
- └── src: # any directory name is fine. Referenced files need to be under source_path
374
- │ └── my_component.js
375
- └── stylesheets:
376
- │ └── my_styles.css
377
- └── images:
378
- └── logo.svg
379
- public/packs # webpack output
380
- ```
381
-
382
- Webpack intelligently includes only necessary files. In this example, the file `packs/application.js` would reference `../src/my_component.js`
383
-
384
- The `nested_entries` option allows webpack entry points in subdirectories (defaults to `true`). See the [Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md#nested_entries) for details.
385
-
386
- The `useContentHash` option enables content-based cache busting. It's disabled by default (except in production) to speed up development builds. See the [Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md#usecontenthash) for details.
387
-
388
- #### Precompile Hook
389
-
390
- Shakapacker supports running custom commands before compilation via the `precompile_hook` configuration option.
391
-
392
- For configuration details, see [precompile_hook in the Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md#precompile_hook).
393
- For complete usage guide, see the [Precompile Hook Guide](./docs/precompile_hook.md).
394
-
395
- #### Setting custom config path
396
-
397
- You can use the `SHAKAPACKER_CONFIG` environment variable to specify a custom config file path. See [Environment Variables in the Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md#environment-variables) for this and other configuration options.
398
-
399
- ### View Helpers
400
-
401
- The Shakapacker view helpers generate the script and link tags to get the webpack output onto your views.
402
-
403
- Be sure to consult the API documentation in the source code of [helper.rb](./lib/shakapacker/helper.rb).
404
-
405
- **Note:** For your styles or static assets files to be available in your view, you would need to link them in your "pack" or entry file. Otherwise, Webpack won't know to package up those files.
406
-
407
- #### View Helpers `javascript_pack_tag` and `stylesheet_pack_tag`
408
-
409
- These view helpers take your `shakapacker.yml` configuration file and the resulting webpack compilation `manifest.json` and generate the HTML to load the assets.
410
-
411
- You can then link the JavaScript pack in Rails views using the `javascript_pack_tag` helper. If you have styles imported in your pack file, you can link them by using `stylesheet_pack_tag`:
412
-
413
- ```erb
414
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
415
- <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'application' %>
416
- ```
417
-
418
- The `javascript_pack_tag` and `stylesheet_pack_tag` helpers will include all the transpiled
419
- packs with the chunks in your view, which creates HTML tags for all the chunks.
420
-
421
- You can provide multiple packs and other attributes. Note, `defer` defaults to showing.
422
-
423
- ```erb
424
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'calendar', 'map', 'data-turbo-track': 'reload' %>
425
- ```
426
-
427
- The resulting HTML would look like this:
428
-
429
- ```html
430
- <script src="/packs/vendor-16838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbo-track="reload" defer></script>
431
- <script src="/packs/calendar~runtime-16838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbo-track="reload" defer></script>
432
- <script src="/packs/calendar-1016838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbo-track="reload" defer"></script>
433
- <script src="/packs/map~runtime-16838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbo-track="reload" defer></script>
434
- <script src="/packs/map-16838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbo-track="reload" defer></script>
435
- ```
436
-
437
- In this output, both the calendar and map codes might refer to other common libraries. Those get placed in something like the vendor bundle. The view helper removes any duplication.
438
-
439
- Note, the default of "defer" for the `javascript_pack_tag`. You can override that to `false`. If you expose jquery globally with `expose-loader,` by using `import $ from "expose-loader?exposes=$,jQuery!jquery"` in your `app/javascript/application.js`, pass the option `defer: false` to your `javascript_pack_tag`.
440
-
441
- The `javascript_pack_tag` also supports the `async` attribute, which you can enable by passing `async: true`:
442
-
443
- ```erb
444
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application', async: true %>
445
- ```
446
-
447
- This will generate script tags with the `async` attribute, which allows the browser to download and execute the script asynchronously without blocking HTML parsing:
448
-
449
- ```html
450
- <script src="/packs/vendor-16838bab065ae1e314.js" async></script>
451
- <script src="/packs/application~runtime-16838bab065ae1e314.js" async></script>
452
- <script src="/packs/application-1016838bab065ae1e314.js" async></script>
453
- ```
454
-
455
- Note that when using `async: true`, scripts may execute in any order as soon as they're downloaded, which could cause issues if your code has dependencies between files. In most cases, `defer` (the default) is preferred as it maintains execution order.
456
-
457
- > [!NOTE]
458
- >
459
- > When both `async` and `defer` attributes are specified, `async` takes precedence according to HTML5 specifications. So if you pass both `async: true` and `defer: true`, the script tag will use `async`.
460
-
461
- **Important:** Pass all your pack names as multiple arguments, not multiple calls, when using `javascript_pack_tag` and the `stylesheet_pack_tag`. Otherwise, you will get duplicated chunks on the page.
462
-
463
- ```erb
464
- <%# DO %>
465
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'calendar', 'map' %>
466
-
467
- <%# DON'T %>
468
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'calendar' %>
469
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'map' %>
470
- ```
471
-
472
- While this also generally applies to `stylesheet_pack_tag`,
473
- you may use multiple calls to stylesheet_pack_tag if,
474
- say,
475
- you require multiple `<style>` tags for different output media:
476
-
477
- ```erb
478
- <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'application', media: 'screen' %>
479
- <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'print', media: 'print' %>
480
- ```
481
-
482
- #### View Helper `append_javascript_pack_tag`, `prepend_javascript_pack_tag` and `append_stylesheet_pack_tag`
483
-
484
- If you need to configure your script pack names or stylesheet pack names from the view for a route or partials, then you will need some logic to ensure you call the helpers only once with multiple arguments. The new view helpers, `append_javascript_pack_tag` and `append_stylesheet_pack_tag` can solve this problem. The helper `append_javascript_pack_tag` will queue up script packs when the `javascript_pack_tag` is finally used. Similarly,`append_stylesheet_pack_tag` will queue up style packs when the `stylesheet_pack_tag` is finally used.
485
-
486
- Main view:
487
-
488
- ```erb
489
- <% append_javascript_pack_tag 'calendar' %>
490
- <% append_stylesheet_pack_tag 'calendar' %>
491
- ```
492
-
493
- Some partial:
494
-
495
- ```erb
496
- <% append_javascript_pack_tag 'map' %>
497
- <% append_stylesheet_pack_tag 'map' %>
498
- ```
499
-
500
- And the main layout has:
501
-
502
- ```erb
503
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
504
- <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'application' %>
505
- ```
506
-
507
- is the same as using this in the main layout:
508
-
509
- ```erb
510
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'calendar', 'map', 'application' %>
511
- <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'calendar', 'map', 'application' %>
512
- ```
513
-
514
- However, you typically can't do that in the main layout, as the view and partial codes will depend on the route.
515
-
516
- Thus, you can distribute the logic of what packs are needed for any route. All the magic of splitting up the code and CSS was automatic!
517
-
518
- **Important:** These helpers can be used anywhere in your application as long as they are executed BEFORE `(javascript/stylesheet)_pack_tag` respectively. If you attempt to call one of these helpers after the respective `(javascript/stylesheet)_pack_tag`, an error will be raised.
519
-
520
- The typical issue is that your layout might reference some partials that need to configure packs. A good way to solve this problem is to use `content_for` to ensure that the code to render your partial comes before the call to `javascript_pack_tag`.
521
-
522
- ```erb
523
- <% content_for :footer do %>
524
- <%= render 'shared/footer' %>
525
- <% end %>
526
-
527
- <%= javascript_pack_tag %>
528
-
529
- <%= yield :footer %>
530
- ```
531
-
532
- There is also `prepend_javascript_pack_tag` that will put the entry at the front of the queue. This is handy when you want an entry in the main layout to go before the partial and main layout `append_javascript_pack_tag` entries.
533
-
534
- Main view:
535
-
536
- ```erb
537
- <% append_javascript_pack_tag 'map' %>
538
- ```
539
-
540
- Some partial:
541
-
542
- ```erb
543
- <% append_javascript_pack_tag 'map' %>
544
- ```
545
-
546
- And the main layout has:
547
-
548
- ```erb
549
- <% prepend_javascript_pack_tag 'main' %>
550
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
551
- ```
552
-
553
- is the same as using this in the main layout:
554
-
555
- ```erb
556
- <%= javascript_pack_tag 'main', 'calendar', 'map', 'application' %>
557
- ```
558
-
559
- For alternative options for setting the additional packs, [see this discussion](https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker/issues/39).
560
-
561
- **Important:** To prevent FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content), always place `stylesheet_pack_tag` in the `<head>` section of your layout. When using `append_*` helpers with dynamic pack loading (e.g., React on Rails), use the `content_for` pattern to control execution order. See the [Preventing FOUC guide](./docs/preventing_fouc.md) for detailed examples.
562
-
563
- #### View Helper: `asset_pack_path`
564
-
565
- If you want to link a static asset for `<img />` tag, you can use the `asset_pack_path` helper:
566
-
567
- ```erb
568
- <img src="<%= asset_pack_path 'static/logo.svg' %>" />
569
- ```
570
-
571
- #### View Helper: `image_pack_tag`
572
-
573
- Or use the dedicated helper:
574
-
575
- ```erb
576
- <%= image_pack_tag 'application.png', size: '16x10', alt: 'Edit Entry' %>
577
- <%= image_pack_tag 'picture.png', srcset: { 'picture-2x.png' => '2x' } %>
578
- ```
579
-
580
- #### View Helper: `favicon_pack_tag`
581
-
582
- If you want to create a favicon:
583
-
584
- ```erb
585
- <%= favicon_pack_tag 'mb-icon.png', rel: 'apple-touch-icon', type: 'image/png' %>
586
- ```
587
-
588
- #### View Helper: `preload_pack_asset`
589
-
590
- If you want to preload a static asset in your `<head>`, you can use the `preload_pack_asset` helper:
591
-
592
- ```erb
593
- <%= preload_pack_asset 'fonts/fa-regular-400.woff2' %>
594
- ```
595
-
596
- #### HTTP 103 Early Hints
597
-
598
- Automatically send early hints to browsers for faster asset loading. Supports `preload`/`prefetch`/`none` configuration per-page.
599
-
600
- ```yaml
601
- # config/shakapacker.yml
602
- production:
603
- early_hints:
604
- enabled: true
605
- debug: false # Enable to see what hints are sent (as HTML comments)
606
- ```
607
-
608
- ⚠️ **Important**: May improve or hurt performance depending on content. See the [Early Hints Guide](./docs/early_hints.md) for configuration, performance guidance, and examples.
609
-
610
- **Troubleshooting**: Enable `debug: true` to see HTML comments showing what hints were sent or why they were skipped.
611
-
612
- **Requirements:** Rails 5.2+, HTTP/2 server, modern browsers. Gracefully degrades if not supported.
613
-
614
- ### Images in Stylesheets
615
-
616
- If you want to use images in your stylesheets:
617
-
618
- ```css
619
- .foo {
620
- background-image: url("../images/logo.svg");
621
- }
622
- ```
623
-
624
- ### Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
625
-
626
- Note, if you are using server-side rendering of JavaScript with dynamic code-splitting, as is often done with extensions to Shakapacker, like [React on Rails](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails), your JavaScript should create the link prefetch HTML tags that you will use, so you won't need to use to `asset_pack_path` in those circumstances.
627
-
628
- ### Development
629
-
630
- Shakapacker ships with three binstubs: `./bin/shakapacker`, `./bin/shakapacker-dev-server`, and `./bin/shakapacker-watch`. The first two are thin wrappers around the standard `webpack.js` and `webpack-dev-server.js` executables to ensure that the right configuration files and environmental variables are loaded based on your environment. `./bin/shakapacker-watch` is a shell wrapper around `./bin/shakapacker` that traps INT/TERM signals for clean shutdown — use it in Procfile-based workflows (e.g., `foreman`, `bin/dev`) to avoid Ruby interrupt backtraces when pressing Ctrl-C.
631
-
632
- _Note: older Shakapacker installations had set a missing NODE_ENV in the binstubs. Please remove this for versions 6.5.2 and newer._
633
-
634
- #### Automatic Webpack Code Building
635
-
636
- Shakapacker can be configured to automatically compile on demand when needed using `compile` option in the `shakapacker.yml`. This happens when you refer to any of the pack assets using the Shakapacker helper methods. This means that you don't have to run any separate processes. Compilation errors are logged to the standard Rails log. However, this auto-compilation happens when a web request is made that requires an updated webpack build, not when files change. Thus, that can be **painfully slow** for front-end development in this default way. Instead, you should either run the `bin/shakapacker --watch` or run `./bin/shakapacker-dev-server` during development.
637
-
638
- The `compile: true` option can be more useful for test and production builds.
639
-
640
- #### Compiler strategies
641
-
642
- Shakapacker ships with two different strategies that are used to determine whether assets need recompilation per the `compile: true` option:
643
-
644
- - `digest` - This strategy calculates SHA1 digest of files in your watched paths (see below). The calculated digest is then stored in a temp file. To check whether the assets need to be recompiled, Shakapacker calculates the SHA1 of the watched files and compares it with the one stored. If the digests are equal, no recompilation occurs. If the digests are different or the temp file is missing, files are recompiled.
645
- - `mtime` - This strategy looks at the last "modified at" timestamps of both files AND directories in your watched paths. The timestamp of the most recent file or directory is then compared with the timestamp of `manifest.json` file generated. If the manifest file timestamp is newer than one of the most recently modified files or directories in the watched paths, no recompilation occurs. If the manifest file is older, files are recompiled.
646
-
647
- The `compiler_strategy` option determines how Shakapacker checks if assets need recompilation (`mtime` for development, `digest` for production). See the [Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md#compiler_strategy) for detailed comparison and recommendations.
648
-
649
- > [!NOTE]
650
- >
651
- > If you are not using the `shakapacker-dev-server`, your packs will be served by the Rails public file server.
652
- > If you've enabled caching (Rails application `config.action_controller.perform_caching` setting),
653
- > your changes will likely not be picked up due to `Cache-Control` header being set and assets being cached in the browser memory.
654
- >
655
- > For more details see [issue 88: Caching issues in Development since migrating to Shakapacker](https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker/issues/88).
656
-
657
- If you want to use live code reloading, or you have enough JavaScript that on-demand compilation is too slow, you'll need to run `./bin/shakapacker-dev-server`. This process will watch for changes in the relevant files, defined by `shakapacker.yml` configuration settings for `source_path`, `source_entry_path`, and `additional_paths`, and it will then automatically reload the browser to match. This feature is also known as [Hot Module Replacement](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/hot-module-replacement/).

659
- #### Common Development Commands
660
-
661
- ```bash
662
- # webpack dev server
663
- ./bin/shakapacker-dev-server
664
-
665
- # watcher (use in Procfiles for clean Ctrl-C shutdown)
666
- ./bin/shakapacker-watch --watch --progress
667
-
668
- # watcher (standalone, without signal handling)
669
- ./bin/shakapacker --watch --progress
670
-
671
- # standalone build
672
- ./bin/shakapacker --progress
673
- ```
674
-
675
- Once you start this webpack development server, Shakapacker will automatically start proxying all webpack asset requests to this server. When you stop this server, Rails will detect that it's not running and Rails will revert back to on-demand compilation _if_ you have the `compile` option set to true in your `config/shakapacker.yml`
676
-
677
- You can use environment variables as options supported by [webpack-dev-server](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/) in the form `SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_<OPTION>`. Please note that these environmental variables will always take precedence over the ones already set in the configuration file, and that the _same_ environmental variables must be available to the `rails server` process.
678
-
679
- ```bash
680
- SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_PORT=4305 SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_HOST=example.com SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_INLINE=true SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_HOT=false ./bin/shakapacker-dev-server
681
- ```
682
-
683
- By default, the webpack dev server listens on `localhost:3035` in development for security purposes. However, if you want your app to be available on port 4035 over local LAN IP or a VM instance like vagrant, you can set the `port` and `host` when running `./bin/shakapacker-dev-server` binstub:
684
-
685
- ```bash
686
- SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_PORT=4305 SHAKAPACKER_DEV_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 ./bin/shakapacker-dev-server
687
- ```
688
-
689
- **Note:** You need to allow webpack-dev-server host as an allowed origin for `connect-src` if you are running your application in a restrict CSP environment (like Rails 5.2+). This can be done in Rails 5.2+ in the CSP initializer `config/initializers/content_security_policy.rb` with a snippet like this:
690
-
691
- ```ruby
692
- Rails.application.config.content_security_policy do |policy|
693
- policy.connect_src :self, :https, 'http://localhost:3035', 'ws://localhost:3035' if Rails.env.development?
694
- end
695
- ```
696
-
697
- **Note:** Don't forget to prefix `ruby` when running these binstubs on Windows

- The generated documentation includes all public and private methods with detailed descriptions.
748
-
749
- #### Type Signatures with RBS
750
-
751
- Shakapacker includes **RBS type signatures** for all public APIs, enabling static type checking and improved IDE support:
752
-
753
- **Benefits:**
754
-
755
- - **IDE Autocomplete**: Get accurate method signatures and parameter hints in your editor
756
- - **Static Type Checking**: Catch type errors before runtime using [Steep](https://github.com/soutaro/steep) or [TypeProf](https://github.com/ruby/typeprof)
757
- - **Self-Documenting Code**: Types provide machine-readable API documentation
758
- - **Safer Refactoring**: Type checker catches breaking changes across your codebase
759
-
760
- **RBS Signatures Location:**
761
- Type signatures are in the `sig/` directory and included with the gem:
762
-
763
- ```
764
- sig/
765
- ├── shakapacker.rbs # Main module
766
- └── shakapacker/
767
- ├── configuration.rbs # Configuration API
768
- ├── helper.rbs # View helpers
769
- ├── manifest.rbs # Asset lookup
770
- ├── compiler.rbs # Compilation
771
- ├── dev_server.rbs # Dev server
772
- └── ... # Other components
773
- ```
774
-
775
- **Using with Steep (Type Checker):**
776
-
777
- ```yaml
778
- # Steepfile
779
- target :app do
780
- signature "sig"
781
- check "app"
782
- library "shakapacker"
783
- end
784
- ```
785
-
786
- **Example Type Checking:**
787
-
788
- ```ruby
789
- # Your code
790
- config = Shakapacker.config
791
- config.source_path # Type checker knows this returns Pathname
792
- config.webpack? # Type checker knows this returns bool
793
-
794
- # Type error caught at development time:
795
- config.invalid_method # ⚠️ Steep reports: Method `invalid_method` is not defined
796
- ```

804
- ### Webpack Configuration
805
-
806
- First, you don't _need_ to use Shakapacker's webpack configuration. However, the `shakapacker` NPM package provides convenient access to configuration code that reads the `config/shakapacker.yml` file which the view helpers also use. If you have your customized webpack configuration, at the minimum, you must ensure:
807
-
808
- 1. Your output files go to the right directory
809
- 2. Your output includes a manifest, via package [`webpack-assets-manifest`](https://github.com/webdeveric/webpack-assets-manifest) that maps output names (your 'packs') to the fingerprinted versions, including bundle-splitting dependencies. That's the main secret sauce of Shakapacker!
810
-
811
- The webpack configuration used by Shakapacker lives in `config/webpack/webpack.config.js`; this makes it easy to customize the configuration beyond what's available in `config/shakapacker.yml` by giving you complete control of the final configuration. By default, this file exports the result of `generateWebpackConfig` which handles generating a webpack configuration based on `config/shakapacker.yml`.
812
-
813
- #### Using a Completely Custom Webpack Configuration
814
-
815
- If you're providing a completely custom webpack configuration without using `generateWebpackConfig()`, you should set `javascript_transpiler: 'none'` in your `config/shakapacker.yml` to skip Shakapacker's transpiler validation and dependency checks:
816
-
817
- ```yml
818
- # config/shakapacker.yml
819
- default: &default
820
- javascript_transpiler: "none" # Skip Shakapacker's transpiler setup
821
- # ... other config
822
- ```
823
-
824
- This is useful when you're managing your own transpiler configuration entirely outside of Shakapacker's defaults.
825
-
826
- **Note:** Only use `javascript_transpiler: 'none'` if you're providing a completely custom webpack configuration without using `generateWebpackConfig()`. If you're using Shakapacker's webpack generation (which is the common case), use one of the supported transpilers (`'babel'`, `'swc'`, or `'esbuild'`) instead.
827
-
828
- The easiest way to modify this config is to pass your desired customizations to `generateWebpackConfig` which will use [webpack-merge](https://github.com/survivejs/webpack-merge) to merge them with the configuration generated from `config/shakapacker.yml`:
829
-
830
- ```js
831
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
832
- const { generateWebpackConfig } = require("shakapacker")
833
-
834
- const options = {
835
- resolve: {
836
- extensions: [".css", ".ts", ".tsx"]
837
- }
838
- }
839
-
840
- // This results in a new object copied from the mutable global
841
- module.exports = generateWebpackConfig(options)
842
- ```
843
-
844
- The `shakapacker` package also exports the `merge` function from [webpack-merge](https://github.com/survivejs/webpack-merge) to make it easier to do more advanced customizations:
845
-
846
- ```js
847
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
848
- const { generateWebpackConfig, merge } = require("shakapacker")
849
-
850
- const webpackConfig = generateWebpackConfig()
851
-
852
- const options = {
853
- resolve: {
854
- extensions: [".css", ".ts", ".tsx"]
855
- }
856
- }
857
-
858
- module.exports = merge(options, webpackConfig)
859
- ```
860
-
861
- This example is based on [an example project](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails_tutorial_with_ssr_and_hmr_fast_refresh/blob/master/config/webpack/webpack.config.js)
862
-
863
- Shakapacker gives you a default configuration file `config/webpack/webpack.config.js`, which, by default, you don't need to make any changes to `config/webpack/webpack.config.js` since it's a standard production-ready configuration. However, you will probably want to customize or add a new loader by modifying the webpack configuration, as shown above.
864
-
865
- You might add separate files to keep your code more organized.
866
-
867
- ```js
868
- // config/webpack/custom.js
869
- module.exports = {
870
- resolve: {
871
- alias: {
872
- jquery: "jquery/src/jquery",
873
- vue: "vue/dist/vue.js",
874
- React: "react",
875
- ReactDOM: "react-dom",
876
- vue_resource: "vue-resource/dist/vue-resource"
877
- }
878
- }
879
- }
880
- ```
881
-
882
- Then `require` this file in your `config/webpack/webpack.config.js`:
883
-
884
- ```js
885
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
886
- // use the new NPM package name, `shakapacker`.
887
- const { generateWebpackConfig } = require("shakapacker")
888
-
889
- const customConfig = require("./custom")
890
-
891
- module.exports = generateWebpackConfig(customConfig)
892
- ```
893
-
894
- If you need access to configs within Shakapacker's configuration, you can import them like so:
895
-
896
- ```js
897
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
898
- const { generateWebpackConfig } = require("shakapacker")
899
-
900
- const webpackConfig = generateWebpackConfig()
901
-
902
- console.log(webpackConfig.output_path)
903
- console.log(webpackConfig.source_path)
904
-
905
- // Or to print out your whole webpack configuration
906
- console.log(JSON.stringify(webpackConfig, undefined, 2))
907
- ```
908
-
909
- You may want to modify the rules in the default configuration. For instance, if you are using a custom svg loader, you may want to remove `.svg` from the default file loader rules. You can search and filter the default rules like so:
910
-
911
- ```js
912
- const fileRule = config.module.rules.find((rule) => rule.test.test(".svg"))
913
- // removing svg from asset file rule's test RegExp
914
- fileRule.test =
915
- /\.(bmp|gif|jpe?g|png|tiff|ico|avif|webp|eot|otf|ttf|woff|woff2)$/
916
- // changing the rule type from 'asset/resource' to 'asset'. See https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/
917
- fileRule.type = "asset"
918
- ```
919
-
920
- ### Babel configuration
921
-
922
- If you choose to use Babel instead of the default SWC transpiler, you will need to configure it in your `package.json`:
923
-
924
- ```json
925
- "babel": {
926
- "presets": [
927
- "./node_modules/shakapacker/package/babel/preset.js"
928
- ]
929
- },
930
- ```
931
-
932
- You can also change your Babel configuration by removing these lines in your `package.json` and adding [a Babel configuration file](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/config-files) to your project. For an example of customization based on the original, see [Customizing Babel Config](./docs/customizing_babel_config.md).
933
-
934
- ### SWC configuration
935
-
936
- SWC is the recommended JavaScript transpiler in Shakapacker v10 (this default was introduced in v9). SWC's own benchmark reports being [20x faster than Babel on a single thread and 70x faster on four cores](https://swc.rs/); end-to-end Shakapacker speedups are typically smaller but still substantial. New installations use SWC by default via the installation template. You can read more at [SWC usage docs](./docs/using_swc_loader.md).
937
-
938
- **Note on defaults**: The installation template explicitly sets `javascript_transpiler: "swc"` for new projects. However, for backward compatibility, webpack's runtime default (when no explicit config exists) remains `"babel"`. Rspack always defaults to `"swc"`.
939
-
940
- Please note that SWC supports [React](#react) integration out of the box - no additional configuration needed.
941
-
942
- ### esbuild loader configuration
943
-
944
- You can use esbuild as an alternative JavaScript transpiler. You can read more at [esbuild-loader usage docs](./docs/using_esbuild_loader.md).
945
-
946
- Please note that esbuild supports [React](#react) integration out of the box - no additional configuration needed.
947
-
948
- ### Switching between transpilers
949
-
950
- To switch between Babel, SWC, or esbuild, or to configure environment-specific transpiler settings, see the [Transpiler Migration Guide](./docs/transpiler-migration.md).
951
-
952
- ### Debugging Configuration
953
-
954
- Shakapacker provides a powerful utility to export and analyze your webpack/rspack configuration:
955
-
956
- ```bash
957
- # Export all configs for troubleshooting (recommended)
958
- bin/shakapacker-config --doctor
959
-
960
- # Or via rake task
961
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:export_bundler_config -- --doctor
962
- ```
963
-
964
- This exports development and production configurations for both client and server bundles to `shakapacker-config-exports/` directory in annotated YAML format. Perfect for:
965
-
966
- - Debugging configuration issues
967
- - Comparing webpack vs rspack configs (works with `rake shakapacker:switch_bundler`)
968
- - Understanding differences between development and production
969
- - Analyzing client vs server bundle configurations
970
-
971
- For more options and usage examples, see the [Troubleshooting Guide](./docs/troubleshooting.md#exporting-webpack--rspack-configuration).
972
-
973
- #### Comparing Configurations
974
-
975
- Once you've exported configurations, compare them semantically with `bin/diff-bundler-config` (powered by [`pack-config-diff`](https://github.com/shakacode/pack-config-diff)):
976
-
977
- ```bash
978
- # Compare development vs production configs
979
- bin/diff-bundler-config \
980
- --left=shakapacker-config-exports/webpack-development-client.yaml \
981
- --right=shakapacker-config-exports/webpack-production-client.yaml
982
-
983
- # Get a quick summary
984
- bin/diff-bundler-config \
985
- --left=config1.yaml \
986
- --right=config2.yaml \
987
- --format=summary
988
- ```
989
-
990
- This is useful for:
991
-
992
- - Understanding environment-specific config changes
993
- - Debugging unexpected behavior differences
994
- - Migration validation (webpack -> rspack)
995
- - Reviewing bundler config changes in PRs
996
-
997
- For full usage, see the [Configuration Diff Guide](./docs/config-diff.md).
998
-
999
- ### Integrations
1000
-
1001
- Shakapacker out of the box supports JS and static assets (fonts, images etc.) compilation. To enable support for CoffeeScript or TypeScript install relevant packages:
1002
-
1003
- #### React
1004
-
1005
- See here for detailed instructions on how to [configure Shakapacker to bundle a React app](./docs/react.md) (with optional HMR).
1006
-
1007
- See also [Customizing Babel Config](./docs/customizing_babel_config.md) for an example React configuration.
1008
-
1009
- #### TypeScript
1010
-
1011
- **📚 TypeScript Support:** See the **[TypeScript Documentation](./docs/typescript.md)** for type-safe configuration.
1012
-
1013
- ```bash
1014
- npm install --save-dev typescript
1015
-
1016
- # If you explicitly use `javascript_transpiler: babel`
1017
- npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-typescript
1018
- ```
1019
-
1020
- Shakapacker does not type-check TypeScript during builds. For webpack projects, you can optionally
1021
- add type-checking during builds with:
1022
-
1023
- ```bash
1024
- npm install --save-dev fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin
1025
- ```
1026
-
1027
- You can also run `tsc --noEmit` separately in CI or local development if you prefer not to wire
1028
- type-checking into the bundler.
1029
-
1030
- Add tsconfig.json
1031
-
1032
- ```json
1033
- {
1034
- "compilerOptions": {
1035
- "declaration": false,
1036
- "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
1037
- "experimentalDecorators": true,
1038
- "lib": ["es6", "dom"],
1039
- "module": "es6",
1040
- "moduleResolution": "node",
1041
- "sourceMap": true,
1042
- "target": "es5",
1043
- "jsx": "react",
1044
- "noEmit": true
1045
- },
1046
- "exclude": ["**/*.spec.ts", "node_modules", "vendor", "public"],
1047
- "compileOnSave": false
1048
- }
1049
- ```
1050
-
1051
- Then modify the webpack config to use it as a plugin:
1052
-
1053
- ```js
1054
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
1055
- const { generateWebpackConfig } = require("shakapacker")
1056
- const ForkTSCheckerWebpackPlugin = require("fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin")
1057
-
1058
- module.exports = generateWebpackConfig({
1059
- plugins: [new ForkTSCheckerWebpackPlugin()]
1060
- })
1061
- ```
1062
-
1063
- Optionally, your webpack config file itself can be written in Typescript:
1064
-
1065
- ```bash
1066
- npm install ts-node @types/node @types/webpack
1067
- ```
1068
-
1069
- ```ts
1070
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.ts
1071
- import { generateWebpackConfig } from "shakapacker"
1072
- import ForkTSCheckerWebpackPlugin from "fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin"
1073
-
1074
- const config = generateWebpackConfig({
1075
- plugins: [new ForkTSCheckerWebpackPlugin()]
1076
- })
1077
-
1078
- export default config
1079
- ```
1080
-
1081
- #### CSS
1082
-
1083
- To enable CSS support in your application, add the following packages:
1084
-
1085
- ```bash
1086
- npm install css-loader style-loader mini-css-extract-plugin css-minimizer-webpack-plugin
1087
- ```
1088
-
1089
- Optionally, add the `CSS` extension to webpack config for easy resolution.
1090
-
1091
- ```js
1092
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
1093
- const { generateWebpackConfig } = require("shakapacker")
1094
-
1095
- const customConfig = {
1096
- resolve: {
1097
- extensions: [".css"]
1098
- }
1099
- }
1100
-
1101
- module.exports = generateWebpackConfig(customConfig)
1102
- ```
1103
-
1104
- To enable `PostCSS`, `Sass` or `Less` support, add `CSS` support first and
1105
- then add the relevant pre-processors:
1106
-
1107
- #### Postcss
1108
-
1109
- ```bash
1110
- npm install postcss postcss-loader
1111
- ```
1112
-
1113
- Optionally add these two plugins if they are required in your `postcss.config.js`:
1114
-
1115
- ```bash
1116
- npm install postcss-preset-env postcss-flexbugs-fixes
1117
- ```
1118

1119
- #### Sass
1120
-
1121
- ```bash
1122
- npm install sass-loader
1123
- ```
1124

1171
- 3. [Vue](https://vue-loader.vuejs.org/guide/)
1172
-
1173
- For example to add Vue support:
1174
-
1175
- ```js
1176
- // config/webpack/rules/vue.js
1177
- const { VueLoaderPlugin } = require("vue-loader")
1178
-
1179
- module.exports = {
1180
- module: {
1181
- rules: [
1182
- {
1183
- test: /\.vue$/,
1184
- loader: "vue-loader"
1185
- }
1186
- ]
1187
- },
1188
- plugins: [new VueLoaderPlugin()],
1189
- resolve: {
1190
- extensions: [".vue"]
1191
- }
1192
- }
1193
- ```
1194
-
1195
- ```js
1196
- // config/webpack/webpack.config.js
1197
- const { generateWebpackConfig, merge } = require("shakapacker")
1198
-
1199
- const webpackConfig = generateWebpackConfig()
1200
-
1201
- const vueConfig = require("./rules/vue")
1202
-
1203
- module.exports = merge(vueConfig, webpackConfig)
1204
- ```
1205
-
1206
- ### Custom Rails environments
1207
-
1208
- Out of the box Shakapacker ships with - development, test and production environments in `config/shakapacker.yml` however, in most production apps extra environments are needed as part of the deployment workflow. Shakapacker supports this out of the box from version 3.4.0+ onwards.
1209
-
1210
- You can choose to define additional environment configurations in shakapacker.yml,
1211
-
1212
- ```yml
1213
- staging:
1214
- <<: *default
1215
-
1216
- # Production depends on precompilation of packs prior to booting for performance.
1217
- compile: false
1218
-
1219
- # Cache manifest.json for performance
1220
- cache_manifest: true
1221
-
1222
- # Compile staging packs to a separate directory
1223
- public_output_path: packs-staging
1224
- ```
1225
-
1226
- Otherwise, Shakapacker will use the production environment as a fallback environment for loading configurations. Please note, `NODE_ENV` can either be set to `production`, `development` or `test`. This means you don't need to create additional environment files inside `config/shakapacker/*` and instead use shakapacker.yml to load different configurations using `RAILS_ENV`.
1227
-
1228
- For example, the below command will compile assets in production mode but will use staging configurations from `config/shakapacker.yml` if available or use fallback production environment configuration:
1229
-
1230
- ```bash
1231
- RAILS_ENV=staging bundle exec rake assets:precompile
1232
- ```
1233
-
1234
- And, this will compile in development mode and load configuration for the cucumber environment if defined in `shakapacker.yml` or fallback to production configuration
1235
-
1236
- ```bash
1237
- RAILS_ENV=cucumber NODE_ENV=development bundle exec rake assets:precompile
1238
- ```
1239
-
1240
- Please note, binstubs compiles in development mode however rake tasks compiles in production mode.
1241
-
1242
- ```bash
1243
- # Compiles in development mode unless NODE_ENV is specified, per the binstub source
1244
- ./bin/shakapacker
1245
- ./bin/shakapacker-dev-server
1246
-
1247
- # Compiles in production mode by default unless NODE_ENV is specified, per `lib/tasks/shakapacker/compile.rake`
1248
- bundle exec rake assets:precompile
1249
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:compile
1250
- ```
1251
-
1252
- ### Upgrading
1253
-
1254
- You can run the following commands to upgrade Shakapacker to the latest stable version. This process involves upgrading the gem and related JavaScript packages:
1255
-
1256
- ```bash
1257
- # check your Gemfile for version restrictions
1258
- bundle update shakapacker
1259
-
1260
- # overwrite your changes to the default install files and revert any unwanted changes from the install
1261
- bundle exec rake shakapacker:install
1262
-
1263
- # using npm
1264
- npm install shakapacker@latest
1265
- npm install webpack-dev-server@latest
1266
-
1267
- # using yarn classic
1268
- yarn upgrade shakapacker --latest
1269
- yarn upgrade webpack-dev-server --latest
1270
-
1271
- # using yarn berry
1272
- yarn up shakapacker@latest
1273
- yarn up webpack-dev-server@latest
1274
-
1275
- # using pnpm
1276
- pnpm up shakapacker@latest
1277
- pnpm up webpack-dev-server@latest
1278
-
1279
- # Or to install the latest release (including pre-releases)
1280
- npm install shakapacker@next
1281
- ```
1282
-
1283
- Also, consult the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for additional upgrade links.
1284
-
1285
- #### Automating Updates with Dependabot
1286
-
1287
- Shakapacker is shipped as both a Ruby gem and an npm package, so they must be
1288
- upgraded together. See [Dependabot configuration for Shakapacker](./docs/dependabot.md)
1289
- for a `.github/dependabot.yml` example that updates both in a single PR.
1290
-
1291
- #### Common Upgrade Scenarios
1292
-
1293
- For step-by-step guides on common migrations, see the [Common Upgrades Guide](./docs/common-upgrades.md):
1294
-
1295
- - [Migrating Package Managers](./docs/common-upgrades.md#migrating-package-managers) (Yarn ↔ npm, pnpm)
1296
- - [Migrating from Babel to SWC](./docs/common-upgrades.md#migrating-from-babel-to-swc) (upstream: ~20x faster transpilation)
1297
- - [Migrating from Webpack to Rspack](./docs/common-upgrades.md#migrating-from-webpack-to-rspack) (upstream: ~8–17x faster bundler)
1298
-
1299
- ### Paths
1300
-
1301
- By default, Shakapacker ships with simple conventions for where the JavaScript app files and compiled webpack bundles will go in your Rails app. All these options are configurable from `config/shakapacker.yml` file.
1302
-
1303
- The configuration for what webpack is supposed to compile by default rests on the convention that every file in `app/javascript/`**(default)** or whatever path you set for `source_entry_path` in the `shakapacker.yml` configuration is turned into their own output files (or entry points, as webpack calls it). Therefore you don't want to put any file inside `app/javascript` directory that you do not want to be an entry file. As a rule of thumb, put all files you want to link in your views inside "app/javascript/" directory and keep everything else under subdirectories like `app/javascript/controllers`.
1304
-
1305
- Suppose you want to change the source directory from `app/javascript` to `frontend` and output to `assets/packs`. This is how you would do it:
1306
-
1307
- ```yml
1308
- # config/shakapacker.yml
1309
- source_path: frontend # packs are the files in frontend/
1310
- public_output_path: assets/packs # outputs to => public/assets/packs
1311
- ```
1312
-
1313
- For server-side rendering (SSR) scenarios where you need to generate bundles that should not be served publicly, you can use the `private_output_path` configuration:
1314
-
1315
- ```yml
1316
- # config/shakapacker.yml
1317
- private_output_path: ssr-generated # outputs to => ssr-generated/
1318
- ```
1319
-
1320
- This is particularly useful when working with libraries like React on Rails where server bundles need to be kept separate from client bundles.
1321
-
1322
- #### Migration Guide for React on Rails Users
1323
-
1324
- If you're using React on Rails with separate client and server bundles, you can now leverage the `private_output_path` configuration instead of using custom webpack configurations:
1325
-
1326
- 1. Update your `config/shakapacker.yml`:
1327
-
1328
- ```yml
1329
- # Before: both client and server bundles in public/
1330
- # After: separate directories
1331
- public_output_path: packs # Client bundles (publicly served)
1332
- private_output_path: ssr-bundles # Server bundles (not publicly served)
1333
- ```
1334
-
1335
- 2. Update your webpack configuration to use the appropriate output path based on the bundle type
1336
- 3. The validation ensures `private_output_path` and `public_output_path` are different to prevent configuration errors
1337
-
1338
- Similarly, you can also control and configure `webpack-dev-server` settings from `config/shakapacker.yml` file:
1339
-
1340
- ```yml
1341
- # config/shakapacker.yml
1342
- development:
1343
- dev_server:
1344
- host: localhost
1345
- port: 3035
1346
- ```
1347
-
1348
- If you have `hmr` turned to true and `inline_css` is not false, then the `stylesheet_pack_tag` generates no output, as you will want to configure your styles to be inlined in your JavaScript for hot reloading. During production and testing, the `stylesheet_pack_tag` will create the appropriate HTML tags.
1349
-
1350
- If you want to have HMR and separate link tags, set `hmr: true` and `inline_css: false`. This will cause styles to be extracted and reloaded with the `mini-css-extract-plugin` loader. Note that in this scenario, you do not need to include style-loader in your project dependencies.
1351
-
1352
- ### Additional paths
1353
-
1354
- If you are adding Shakapacker to an existing app that has most of the assets inside `app/assets` or inside an engine, and you want to share that with webpack modules, you can use the `additional_paths` option available in `config/shakapacker.yml`. This lets you
1355
- add additional paths that webpack should look up when resolving modules:
1356
-
1357
- ```yml
1358
- additional_paths: ["app/assets", "vendor/assets"]
1359
- ```
1360
-
1361
- You can then import these items inside your modules like so:
1362
-
1363
- ```js
1364
- // Note it's relative to parent directory i.e. app/assets
1365
- import "stylesheets/main"
1366
- import "images/rails.png"
1367
- ```
1368
-
1369
- Assets put in these folders will also have their path stripped just like with the `source_path`.
1370
-
1371
- Example:
1372
-
1373
- A file in `app/assets/images/image.svg` with `additional_paths: ['app/assets']` will result in `static/images/image.svg`
1374
-
1375
- **Note:** Please be careful when adding paths here otherwise it will make the compilation slow, consider adding specific paths instead of the whole parent directory if you just need to reference one or two modules
1376
-
1377
- **Also note:** While importing assets living outside your `source_path` defined in shakapacker.yml (like, for instance, assets under `app/assets`) from within your packs using _relative_ paths like `import '../../assets/javascripts/file.js'` will work in development, Shakapacker won't recompile the bundle in production unless a file that lives in one of it's watched paths has changed (check out `Shakapacker::MtimeStrategy#latest_modified_timestamp` or `Shakapacker::DigestStrategy#watched_files_digest` depending on strategy configured by `compiler_strategy` option in `shakapacker.yml`). That's why you'd need to add `app/assets` to the additional_paths as stated above and use `import 'javascripts/file.js'` instead.
1378
-
1379
- ## Deployment
1380
-
1381
- Shakapacker hooks up a new `shakapacker:compile` task to `assets:precompile`, which gets run whenever you run `assets:precompile`. If you are not using Sprockets, `shakapacker:compile` is automatically aliased to `assets:precompile`. Similar to sprockets both rake tasks will compile packs in production mode but will use `RAILS_ENV` to load configuration from `config/shakapacker.yml` (if available).
1382
-
1383
- This behavior is optional & can be disabled by either setting a `SHAKAPACKER_PRECOMPILE` environment variable to `false`, `no`, `n`, or `f`, or by setting a `shakapacker_precompile` key in your `shakapacker.yml` to `false`. ([source code](./lib/shakapacker/configuration.rb#L34))
1384
-
1385
- When compiling assets for production on a remote server, such as a continuous integration environment, it's recommended to ensure the exact versions specified in your lockfile are installed:
1386
-
1387
- ```
1388
- # using npm
1389
- npm ci
1390
-
1391
- # using yarn classic
1392
- yarn install --frozen-lockfile
1393
-
1394
- # using yarn berry
1395
- yarn install --immutable
1396
-
1397
- # using pnpm
1398
- pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
1399
-
1400
- # using bun
1401
- bun install --frozen-lockfile
1402
- ```
1403
-
1404
- ### CDN
1405
-
1406
- Shakapacker supports serving JavaScript bundles and assets from a CDN. The key configuration is setting the `SHAKAPACKER_ASSET_HOST` environment variable (NOT the Rails `ASSET_HOST` variable).
1407
-
1408
- For detailed CDN setup instructions, including CloudFlare configuration, troubleshooting, and advanced setups, see the [CDN Setup Guide](./docs/cdn_setup.md).
1409
-
1410
- **Quick example:**
1411
-
1412
- ```bash
1413
- export SHAKAPACKER_ASSET_HOST=https://cdn.example.com
1414
- RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
1415
- ```
1416
-
1417
