Compress css files with Rails

Rails
1

Hi,
I work on a website with many css files. To improve the performance of
the site I would to merge all my css file into one on the production
site.
I know I could do this using plugins, but I heard it is possible
natively within rails.

Does someone know what it is?

See the :cache => true option of stylesheet_link_tag
ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper

You don’t have to use true either - you can use a string (so if you have
more than one layout each using a different set of stylesheets you can
create individual cache files for each layout).

Cheers,

Andy

If you use Sass (which I highly, highly recommend) then this is done for
you. You get lots of other advantages too.
