Pre-build CSS for Rails Admin

[andresgutgon]

Hi 👋
I just started a fresh Rails 7 with impormap and I was trying to be away from node_modules in this project xD

But I wanted a great admin so I picked Rails Admin 🏀

The thing is that admin's styles are generated with Sass right? And in other to use this gem I need to introduce Node + Yarn in my project.

I was wondering if maybe it would be possible to ship a pre-build CSS+font-icons with the gem so users can set a config flag and use those pre-build assets.

Maybe this is already possible and I didn't find how.

This is what I did in my dockerized Rails app for now.

FROM node:latest AS node_base

RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --version

FROM ruby:3.1.1

# Put NodeJS in this image
COPY --from=node_base . .

# Yarn for Rails Admin assets
RUN curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
RUN echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y yarn
