With the Ruby on Rails asset pipeline in RoR 3.1, it’s unclear if the .coffee and the //= require files get processed only once or with each asset request.
For example, I have a file that looks like this:
//= require source/main.js.coffee //= require source/second.js.coffee //= require source/third.js.coffee
Ideally, the server would compile these to js ONCE, then bundle them, then create a static file. Otherwise it’s going to be wasting cycles repeating effort.
Can someone clarify what happens?
Thanks, Jeff
