Compress css files with Rails

Hi, I work on a website with many css files. To improve the performance of the site I would to merge all my css file into one on the production site. I know I could do this using plugins, but I heard it is possible natively within rails.

Does someone know what it is? Greg

See the :cache => true option of stylesheet_link_tag http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/AssetTagHelper.html#M002231

You don’t have to use true either - you can use a string (so if you have more than one layout each using a different set of stylesheets you can create individual cache files for each layout).

Cheers,

Is there an option to remove all useless content in the files? such as comments.

If you use Sass (which I highly, highly recommend) then this is done for you. You get lots of other advantages too.
