Rails assetification of the jqplot javascript plotting library

outfielding-jqplot-rails

This is a bundling of jqplot for the Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline. It's similar in idea to Matt House's jqplot-rails project, but I needed something that would keep pace with jqplot's releases (well, at least on my schedule, whatever that actually turns out to be).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'outfielding-jqplot-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install outfielding-jqplot-rails

Usage

In your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css file add the following:

 *= require jquery.jqplot

In your app/assets/javascripts/application.js file add the following:

 //= require jquery.jqplot

If you'd like to use any of the optional plugins for jqplot - include them in app/assets/javascripts/application.js e.g.

 //= require jqplot-plugins/jqplot.highlighter

will include the jqplot Highlighter plugin.

The file naming is a little strange, but I'm basically just copying the distribution as is into the gem.

Versioning

Unless otherwise noted, the outfielding-jqplot-rails version should match the jqplot distribution version included (as of 1.0.5, i'm leaving off the release revision, at least for now)

jqplot-rails's Issues

Update to jqplot 1.0.5r1122

Debating whether or not to just version it as 1.0.5 and avoiding the release rev. I think I'll switch to that and then do .1 .2 etc. if I have to make changes or jqplot releases a rev in the same point release.
