How to make javascript_include_tag recursive?

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been able to connect my js-files in batches for a long time.

Remember that Rails has a standard javascript_include_tag helper (: all,: recursive => true), which includes all the files from public / javascripts. But I wanted to manage this process. And that's what I got:

<%= javascript_include_tag collect_js("jquery-1.4.2", "jquery.*", "lib/*, "application") %> 

')
By default, all * .js files are recursively connected to the specified templates, but this can be turned off:

 <%= javascript_include_tag collect_js("jquery-1.4.2", "jquery.*", "application", :without_recursion => true) %> 

Helper source code under cat

 def collect_js(*patterns) options = patterns.extract_options!.stringify_keys recursion = !options["without_recursion"] # with recursion by default patterns.collect do |pattern| scripts = collect_asset_files(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'public', 'javascripts'), pattern + '.js') scripts = scripts + collect_asset_files(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'public', 'javascripts'), pattern, '**', '*.js') if recursion scripts end end 

Good luck!
