Controller-specific stylesheets and stylesheet_link_tag and

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello,

I would like to use controller-specific stylesheets instead of the usual `application.css`. So, if a page were rendered by controller Foo it would include only the stylesheet whose source is `app/assets/stylesheets/foo.css.scss`.

I am using Rails 4.0.x.

I tried replacing

     stylesheet_link_tag('application')

with

     stylesheet_link_tag(params[:controller])

in the default layout as suggested by the assets guide [1] but is not producing the expected effects.

The first statement returns

     <link href="/assets/application.css?body=1" …

while the second returns

     <link href="/stylesheets/foo.css" …

How can I make my controller-specific stylesheet go through the assets pipeline?

Bye,

You can use a specific css file for each controller, just called the css file like your controller: app/assets/stylesheets/greetings.css.scss

Also you can use the params[:controller] in your layout to load styles only for a specific controller( I don’t know if that is a good practice) like:

if params[:controller] == “greeting”

end

Hi,

this is exactly what I have, yet the `stylesheet_link_tag` method does not behave in the way I am expecting it to behave.

Bye,
