Overview

This module provides methods for generating HTML that links views to assets such as images, JavaScripts, stylesheets, and feeds. These methods do not verify the assets exist before linking to them:

image_tag("rails.png")
# => <img src="/assets/rails.png" />
stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# => <link href="/assets/application.css?body=1" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" />

#audio_tag(*sources)

Returns an HTML audio tag for the sources. If sources is a string, a single audio tag will be returned. If sources is an array, an audio tag with nested source tags for each source will be returned. The sources can be full paths or files that exist in your public audios directory.

When the last parameter is a hash you can add HTML attributes using that parameter.

audio_tag("sound")
# => <audio src="/audios/sound"></audio>
audio_tag("sound.wav")
# => <audio src="/audios/sound.wav"></audio>
audio_tag("sound.wav", autoplay: true, controls: true)
# => <audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" src="/audios/sound.wav"></audio>
audio_tag("sound.wav", "sound.mid")
# => <audio><source src="/audios/sound.wav" /><source src="/audios/sound.mid" /></audio>

def audio_tag(*sources)
  multiple_sources_tag_builder("audio", sources)
end


  












  

    #image_tag(source, options = {})  
  



  

    

Returns an HTML image tag for the source. The source can be a full path, a file, or an Active Storage attachment.



Options



You can add HTML attributes using the options. The options supports additional keys for convenience and conformance:


  • 

    :size - Supplied as “WidthxHeight” or “Number”, so “30x45” becomes width=“30” and height=“45”, and “50” becomes width=“50” and height=“50”. :size will be ignored if the value is not in the correct format.
    

  • 

    :srcset - If supplied as a hash or array of [source, descriptor] pairs, each image path will be expanded before the list is formatted as a string.
    




Examples



Assets (images that are part of your app):



image_tag("icon")
# => <img src="/assets/icon" />
image_tag("icon.png")
# => <img src="/assets/icon.png" />
image_tag("icon.png", size: "16x10", alt: "Edit Entry")
# => <img src="/assets/icon.png" width="16" height="10" alt="Edit Entry" />
image_tag("/icons/icon.gif", size: "16")
# => <img src="/icons/icon.gif" width="16" height="16" />
image_tag("/icons/icon.gif", height: '32', width: '32')
# => <img height="32" src="/icons/icon.gif" width="32" />
image_tag("/icons/icon.gif", class: "menu_icon")
# => <img class="menu_icon" src="/icons/icon.gif" />
image_tag("/icons/icon.gif", data: { title: 'Rails Application' })
# => <img data-title="Rails Application" src="/icons/icon.gif" />
image_tag("icon.png", srcset: { "icon_2x.png" => "2x", "icon_4x.png" => "4x" })
# => <img src="/assets/icon.png" srcset="/assets/icon_2x.png 2x, /assets/icon_4x.png 4x">
image_tag("pic.jpg", srcset: [["pic_1024.jpg", "1024w"], ["pic_1980.jpg", "1980w"]], sizes: "100vw")
# => <img src="/assets/pic.jpg" srcset="/assets/pic_1024.jpg 1024w, /assets/pic_1980.jpg 1980w" sizes="100vw">



Active Storage blobs (images that are uploaded by the users of your app):



image_tag(user.avatar)
# => <img src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/.../tiger.jpg" />
image_tag(user.avatar.variant(resize_to_limit: [100, 100]))
# => <img src="/rails/active_storage/representations/.../tiger.jpg" />
image_tag(user.avatar.variant(resize_to_limit: [100, 100]), size: '100')
# => <img width="100" height="100" src="/rails/active_storage/representations/.../tiger.jpg" />

  tag("img", options)
end


  








  

    #javascript_include_tag(*sources)  
  



  

    

Returns an HTML script tag for each of the sources provided.



Sources may be paths to JavaScript files. Relative paths are assumed to be relative to assets/javascripts, full paths are assumed to be relative to the document root. Relative paths are idiomatic, use absolute paths only when needed.



When passing paths, the “.js” extension is optional. If you do not want “.js” appended to the path extname: false can be set on the options.



You can modify the HTML attributes of the script tag by passing a hash as the last argument.



When the Asset Pipeline is enabled, you can pass the name of your manifest as source, and include other JavaScript or CoffeeScript files inside the manifest.



If the server supports Early Hints header links for these assets will be automatically pushed.



Options



When the last parameter is a hash you can add HTML attributes using that parameter. The following options are supported:


  • 

    :extname  - Append an extension to the generated URL unless the extension already exists. This only applies for relative URLs.
    

  • 

    :protocol  - Sets the protocol of the generated URL. This option only applies when a relative URL and host options are provided.
    

  • 

    :host  - When a relative URL is provided the host is added to the that path.
    

  • 

    :skip_pipeline  - This option is used to bypass the asset pipeline when it is set to true.
    

  • 

    :nonce  - When set to true, adds an automatic nonce value if you have Content Security Policy enabled.
    




Examples



javascript_include_tag "xmlhr"
# => <script src="/assets/xmlhr.debug-1284139606.js"></script>

javascript_include_tag "xmlhr", host: "localhost", protocol: "https"
# => <script src="https://localhost/assets/xmlhr.debug-1284139606.js"></script>

javascript_include_tag "template.jst", extname: false
# => <script src="/assets/template.debug-1284139606.jst"></script>

javascript_include_tag "xmlhr.js"
# => <script src="/assets/xmlhr.debug-1284139606.js"></script>

javascript_include_tag "common.javascript", "/elsewhere/cools"
# => <script src="/assets/common.javascript.debug-1284139606.js"></script>
#    <script src="/elsewhere/cools.debug-1284139606.js"></script>

javascript_include_tag "http://www.example.com/xmlhr"
# => <script src="http://www.example.com/xmlhr"></script>

javascript_include_tag "http://www.example.com/xmlhr.js"
# => <script src="http://www.example.com/xmlhr.js"></script>

javascript_include_tag "http://www.example.com/xmlhr.js", nonce: true
# => <script src="http://www.example.com/xmlhr.js" nonce="..."></script>

    #video_tag(*sources)  
  



  

    

Returns an HTML video tag for the sources. If sources is a string, a single video tag will be returned. If sources is an array, a video tag with nested source tags for each source will be returned. The sources can be full paths or files that exist in your public videos directory.



Options



When the last parameter is a hash you can add HTML attributes using that parameter. The following options are supported:


  • 

    :poster - Set an image (like a screenshot) to be shown before the video loads. The path is calculated like the src of #image_tag.
    

  • 

    :size - Supplied as “WidthxHeight” or “Number”, so “30x45” becomes width=“30” and height=“45”, and “50” becomes width=“50” and height=“50”. :size will be ignored if the value is not in the correct format.
    

  • 

    :poster_skip_pipeline will bypass the asset pipeline when using the :poster option instead using an asset in the public folder.
    




Examples



video_tag("trailer")
# => <video src="/videos/trailer"></video>
video_tag("trailer.ogg")
# => <video src="/videos/trailer.ogg"></video>
video_tag("trailer.ogg", controls: true, preload: 'none')
