rails 4 asset_pipeline : Include whole folder for vendor/assets

Question

The whole point of this is to include a template from wrap bootstrap. I have been playing around with it, but would it be possible to include a folder to our rails application.css or application.js in app/assets (or even images).

I have put my files from my template under

• vendor/assets/stylesheets/mytemplate/allmycssstuff
• vendor/assets/javascripts/mytemplate/allmyjavascriptsstuff
• vendor/assets/fonts/mytemplate/allmyfontsstuff
• vendor/assets/images/mytemplate/allmyimagesstuff

For now , I basically require each one and it works, but it's a long process (since sometime templates have plugins). Is it possible to require a folder, so it fetch every file with *.css extension?

So, I would do something like (in app/assets/stylsheets/application.css):

*= require mytemplate/*.css (doesn't work)

And same for others...

You can use the require_tree directive in the application.css and application.js manifest files, which will recursively include any files in the given directories. These are relative paths however, so you'll need something like this:

 *= require_tree ../../../vendor/assets/stylesheets
