Make it possible to put templates in a different directory about haml_coffee_assets

[netzpirat]

That's strange, I have my templates folder also directly in app/assets without problems. Can you try to add your path to the assets path in your environment config:

config.assets.paths << "#{ Rails.root }/app/assets/templates"

You can now enable the Sprockets JST processor by switching to the .jst.hamlc extension, so Haml Coffee Assets isn't responsible for creating the JST.

I'm closing this since it's not related to Haml Coffee Assets, it's a Sprockets configuration issue. The way it's describe in the README is just my personal setup, but you can configure Sprockets to your needs easily.

It's actually working without error now without that change for some reason.

The real reason I asked for the change was that I wanted my templates in my javascripts/ directory alongside my models/ routers/ and views/ directories. But I'll give this a shot and see how it feels.

I ran into a similar issue. Putting templates in app/assets/templates can lead to a path collisions. For example, if you have both of the following it will lead to only one being loaded in the development environment:

• app/assets/javascripts/foo.js
• app/assets/templates/foo.hamlc

I would recommend re-opening this issue because I don't think putting the templates in app/assets works out of the box. I handled this by:

1. putting templates in app/assets/javascripts/templates
2. modifying the evaluate method in HamlCoffeeAssets::HamlCoffeeTemplate to use a customizable name_filter proc.

See https://github.com/jingoro/haml_coffee_assets/commit/309d1428c42a750df0cacfaf48ca3a84be4db8a8

Let me know what you think about this general approach.

This is a very nice solution. I'll pull you commit today and update the README. I'd only change the name_filter to be lambda { |n| n.sub /^templates\//, '' } by default, because I think this is what most people want.

Thanks @jingoro for the nice pull request!
