Where to put frontend `require` files in a Volt project

I'm writing an app that requires me to define a Ruby class outside of the controller, and then instantiate it within a controller.

I put it in lib/my_file.rb and also initializers/client/my_file.rb and got the same result:

Sprockets::FileNotFound at / couldn't find file 'client/my_file' with type 'application/javascript'

Solution

  • Fixed it by doing this in main/config/initializers:

    if RUBY_PLATFORM == 'opal' require_relative 'client/my_file' else end
