Asset Pipeline
Stefan Wintermeyer · Apress eBooks · 2018
The asset pipeline offers Rails developers the opportunity to deliver CSS, JavaScript, and image files to the browser more optimally. Depending on the type of file, this can be through compression or a file name fingerprint. Different CSS files are combined into one big file. The fingerprinting enables the browser and any proxy in between to optimally cache the data so the browser can load these files more quickly on subsequent visits. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
