Webpacker support

[kylefox]

It'd be nice to use this library with Webpacker in addition to the asset pipeline.

how could i use it together with webpacker?
I'm looking the way to implement it.

@trnthanhtu Unfortunately it's currently not supported by this gem. You'll need to do it manually if you require webpacker support — or better yet, submit a pull request 😉

[acprsadmin]

by manually you mean park the assets in vendor and not use the gem?

[kylefox]

@acprsadmin You could manually install Trix with yarn and then include it in your app/javascript/packs/application.js or whatever. This gem mainly provides form helpers, which will work regardless of how you install Trix's JS/CSS.

[acprsadmin]

Ok i parked trix.css in app/assets/stylesheets and trix.js in app/assets/javascripts

//= require trix in application.js
@import "trix"; application.scss

I disabled the gem.

i get this error...
couldn't find file 'trix/banner' with type 'application/javascript'

same thing if i use straight css links in header and script link in bottom of page

any ideas.
is webpacker even worth the hassle in Rails 5.2.2?

[acprsadmin]

or should it use the trix.scss and trix coffee file under basecamp/trix/assets directly rather than the /dist directory.
what is diff between trix.js and trix-core.js???

[acprsadmin]

also what is the command to install trix with yarn?

thanks

@acprsadmin I'm not sure why you're encountering those errors. Just to clarify, if you manually added the files to app/assets/stylesheets and app/assets/javascripts as you mentioned here, then you're using the asset pipeline — not webpacker.
