## What it is
A Ruby gem that packages jQuery UI JavaScript, stylesheet, and image assets for the Rails asset pipeline. It lets Rails applications require jQuery UI components without manually downloading custom builds.

## Use cases
- add jQuery UI widgets like datepicker to a Rails app
- serve jQuery UI assets through the Rails asset pipeline
- include only specific jQuery UI modules to reduce payload
- avoid manually downloading jQuery UI packages
- bundle jQuery UI stylesheets and images with Rails

## When to choose
- you maintain a Rails app using the asset pipeline and need jQuery UI
- you want per-module requires with automatic dependency resolution
- you prefer managing frontend assets via Bundler

## When to avoid
- you use a modern Rails setup with Webpacker, jsbundling, or importmaps
- your app does not use Ruby on Rails
- you are starting a new project where a lighter modern UI library fits better
