Jammit is an asset packaging library for Rails that concatenates and compresses CSS and JavaScript, with ahead-of-time gzipping, JavaScript template support, and optional Data-URI/MHTML image embedding. It integrates with YUI Compressor, Closure Compiler, and UglifyJS.
Use cases
- bundle and minify css and javascript in a rails app
- gzip assets ahead of time for faster page loads
- embed images as data uris in stylesheets
- package javascript templates in rails
- concatenate js files into a single package
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Rails 2 or Rails 3 app without the asset pipeline
- you need fine-grained YAML-configured asset packages with data-uri embedding
When to avoid
- you use modern Rails, which has Sprockets/Propshaft built in
- you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was 2021 and the project is effectively dormant
