class Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor
The `DirectiveProcessor` is responsible for parsing and evaluating directive comments in a source file.
A directive comment starts with a comment prefix, followed by an “=”, then the directive name, then any arguments.
// JavaScript //= require "foo" # CoffeeScript #= require "bar" CSS *= require "baz"
This makes it possible to disable or modify the processor to do whatever you'd like. You could add your own custom directives or invent your own directive syntax.
`Environment#processors` includes `DirectiveProcessor` by default.
To remove the processor entirely:
env.unregister_processor('text/css', Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor) env.unregister_processor('application/javascript', Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor)
Then inject your own preprocessor:
env.register_processor('text/css', MyProcessor)
Constants
- DIRECTIVE_PATTERN
Directives are denoted by a `=` followed by the name, then argument list.
A few different styles are allowed:
// =require foo //= require foo //= require "foo"

Directives will only be picked up if they are in the header of the source file. C style ( ), JavaScript (//), and Ruby (#) comments are supported.
Directives in comments after the first non-whitespace line of code will not be processed.
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 99 def compile_header_pattern(comments) re = comments.map { |c| case c when String "(?:#{Regexp.escape(c)}.*\\n?)+" when Array "(?:#{Regexp.escape(c[0])}(?m:.*?)#{Regexp.escape(c[1])})" else raise TypeError, "unknown comment type: #{c.class}" end }.join("|") Regexp.compile("\\A(?:(?m:\\s*)(?:#{re}))+") end
Returns an Array of directive structures. Each structure is an Array with the line number as the first element, the directive name as the second element, followed by any arguments.
[[1, "require", "foo"], [2, "require", "bar"]]
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 136 def extract_directives(header) processed_header = "" directives = [] header.lines.each_with_index do |line, index| if directive = line[DIRECTIVE_PATTERN, 1] name, *args = Shellwords.shellwords(directive) if respond_to?("process_#{name}_directive", true) directives << [index + 1, name, *args] # Replace directive line with a clean break line = "\n" end end processed_header << line end return processed_header.chomp, directives end
Allows you to state a dependency on an asset without including it.
This is used for caching purposes. Any changes that would invalid the asset dependency will invalidate the cache our the source file.
Unlike `depend_on`, the path must be a requirable asset.
//= depend_on_asset "bar.js"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 275 def process_depend_on_asset_directive(path) load(resolve(path)) end
Allows you to state a dependency on a file without including it.
This is used for caching purposes. Any changes made to the dependency file will invalidate the cache of the source file.
This is useful if you are using ERB and File.read to pull in contents from another file.
//= depend_on "foo.png"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 260 def process_depend_on_directive(path) resolve(path) end
Gathers comment directives in the source and processes them. Any directive method matching `process_*_directive` will automatically be available. This makes it easy to extend the processor.
To implement a custom directive called `require_glob`, subclass `Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor`, then add a method called `process_require_glob_directive`.
class DirectiveProcessor < Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor def process_require_glob_directive Dir["#{dirname}/#{glob}"].sort.each do |filename| require(filename) end end end
Replace the current processor on the environment with your own:
env.unregister_processor('text/css', Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor) env.register_processor('text/css', DirectiveProcessor)
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 177 def process_directives(directives) directives.each do |line_number, name, *args| begin send("process_#{name}_directive", *args) rescue Exception => e e.set_backtrace(["#{@filename}:#{line_number}"] + e.backtrace) raise e end end end
Declares a linked dependency on the target asset.
The `path` must be a valid asset and should not already be part of the bundle. Any linked assets will automatically be compiled along with the current.
= link "logo.png"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 299 def process_link_directive(path) @links << load(resolve(path)).uri end
`link_directory` links all the files inside a single directory. It's similar to `path/*` since it does not follow nested directories.
//= link_directory "./fonts"
Use caution when linking against JS or CSS assets. Include an explicit extension or content type in these cases
//= link_directory "./scripts" .js
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 314 def process_link_directory_directive(path = ".", accept = nil) path = expand_relative_dirname(:link_directory, path) accept = expand_accept_shorthand(accept) link_paths(*@environment.stat_directory_with_dependencies(path), accept) end
`link_tree` links all the nested files in a directory. Its glob equivalent is `path /*`.
//= link_tree "./images"
Use caution when linking against JS or CSS assets. Include an explicit extension or content type in these cases
//= link_tree "./styles" .css
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 330 def process_link_tree_directive(path = ".", accept = nil) path = expand_relative_dirname(:link_tree, path) accept = expand_accept_shorthand(accept) link_paths(*@environment.stat_sorted_tree_with_dependencies(path), accept) end
The `require` directive functions similar to Ruby's own `require`. It provides a way to declare a dependency on a file in your path and ensures its only loaded once before the source file.
`require` works with files in the environment path:
//= require "foo.js"
Extensions are optional. If your source file is “.js”, it assumes you are requiring another “.js”.
//= require "foo"
Relative paths work too. Use a leading `./` to denote a relative path:
//= require "./bar"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 206 def process_require_directive(path) @required << resolve(path, accept: @content_type, pipeline: :self) end
`require_directory` requires all the files inside a single directory. It's similar to `path/*` since it does not follow nested directories.
//= require_directory "./javascripts"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 233 def process_require_directory_directive(path = ".") path = expand_relative_dirname(:require_directory, path) require_paths(*@environment.stat_directory_with_dependencies(path)) end
`require_self` causes the body of the current file to be inserted before any subsequent `require` directives. Useful in CSS files, where it's common for the index file to contain global styles that need to be defined before other dependencies are loaded.
= require "reset" *= require_self *= require_tree .
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 220 def process_require_self_directive if @required.include?(@uri) raise ArgumentError, "require_self can only be called once per source file" end @required << @uri end
`require_tree` requires all the nested files in a directory. Its glob equivalent is `path /*`.
//= require_tree "./public"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 243 def process_require_tree_directive(path = ".") path = expand_relative_dirname(:require_tree, path) require_paths(*@environment.stat_sorted_tree_with_dependencies(path)) end
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 113 def process_source(source) header = source[@header_pattern, 0] || "" body = $' || source header, directives = extract_directives(header) data = "" data.force_encoding(body.encoding) data << header << "\n" unless header.empty? data << body # Ensure body ends in a new line data << "\n" if data.length > 0 && data[-1] != "\n" return data, directives end
Allows dependency to be excluded from the asset bundle.
The `path` must be a valid asset and may or may not already be part of the bundle. Once stubbed, it is blacklisted and can't be brought back by any other `require`.
//= stub "jquery"
# File lib/sprockets/directive_processor.rb, line 287 def process_stub_directive(path) @stubbed << resolve(path, accept: @content_type, pipeline: :self) end
