Rails Assets
The solution to assets management in Rails
Overview
The Rails Assets project serves as a proxy between Bower and Bundler, allowing users to incorporate Bower packages into Ruby on Rails applications. However, it is important to note that both Bower and Rails Assets are deprecated, and newer projects are advised to explore alternative solutions. The README documentation elaborates on the development setup required for leveraging Rails Assets within a Rails application.
Features

- Headless chromerspec tests: Utilizes Capybara with a Selenium driver configured for headless Chrome testing.
- Convert Bower package into Ruby gem: Offers a CLI tool to convert Bower packages into Ruby gems for seamless integration.
Summary
The Rails Assets project serves as a transition mechanism for incorporating Bower packages into Ruby on Rails applications. However, due to deprecation warnings for both Bower and Rails Assets, developers are encouraged to explore newer and more compatible solutions for managing frontend assets in their projects.
