Web Worker javascript files

Rails
1

Using web workers in Rails seems a little awkward. I was wondering if
anyone had a nice work flow.

  1. Since they are loaded directly, they can’t be in the asset pipeline,
    so
    I created a folder under public: public/web_workers/

Disadvantages:

  • The web worker code isn’t minimized.

  • The web worker code is not where all the other javascript files are,
    so
    it is a little bit “hidden” during development.

  • The web worker code doesn’t get the fingerprint, so I’ve had some
    issues
    with the browser caching the old code.

Can anyone improve on this system?
