== CachedAssets Rails plugin to intended to help reduce the number of HTTP requests when loading static assets like stylesheets and JavaScript files. == Usage Instead of using the default Rails helpers like <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'scaffold' %> use: <%= cached_javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= cached_stylesheet_link_tag 'scaffold' %> The key here is to have as few of these statements as possible because the plugin will make a single asset from the list of sources. So, if you might have something like: <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= javascript_include_tag 'lightbox' %> <%= javascript_include_tag 'yui/yahoo-min', 'yui/event-min', 'yui/treeview-min' %> then you want to combine them into a single statement, like so: <%= cached_javascript_include_tag :defaults, 'lightbox', 'yui/yahoo-min', 'yui/event-min', 'yui/treeview-min' %> == Documentation Not much to document. Take a look at the plugin rdoc.
