I have generated a skeleton-API-only app based on Rails 5 edge version
using command:
rails app_name --api --edge
Its Gemfile
<https://github.com/jiggneshhgohel/rails-5-edge-api-only/blob/master/Gemfile>
includes Sprockets and SASS gems as can be seen in it.
gem 'sprockets-rails', github: "rails/sprockets-rails"
gem 'sprockets', github: "rails/sprockets"
gem 'sass-rails', github: "rails/sass-rails"
I was just wondering what purpose Sprockets and SASS should serve in an
API-only app? Is it purposely done or by the time Rails 5 is officially
released this should be fixed.
I also observed that when generated the Rails app the generator did created
the assets folder, however removed it later as can be seen in the output
shown below:
create app
create app/assets/config/manifest.js
create app/assets/javascripts/application.js
