Assets are not accessible in API-only app

[ababich]

If you add GraphiQL Rails to pura Rails API app you will not get it working as assets are not accessible:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/stylesheets/graphiql/rails/application.css"):
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/javascripts/graphiql/rails/application.js"):

I'm pretty sure this is API-only issue, documentation how to make it working should be improved

For those wanting to make this work on the API only rails app.
Add the following to your Gemfile.

gem 'sass-rails'
gem 'uglifier'
gem 'coffee-rails'

And un comment or add the following to your application.rb
require "sprockets/railtie"

Thanks for following up! I guess this gem depends on sprockets routing being hooked up. Feel free to PR the documentation if you can think of a way to explain that clearly.

I left out adding the assets related gems (sass-rails, uglifier, coffee-rails) to my API only Rails app (v5.1.2) & graphiql seems to work fine. 😉

@jam35L I need to serve images uploaded using Carrierwave in an API-only app, so I uncommented require "sprockets/railtie" but it's still not working even with sass-rails, uglifier, coffee-rails gems, any ideas?

@yasser-sobhy Please clarify which part is not working. Your API only app is not working or you can't access your images?

[yasser-sobhy]

The images wasn't working, but it's working now.

@zfhui Did you have your
rails app in api mode?

Hi.
I have the same issue.
I have Rails API only app.
And i can't add styles with app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss.
I don't see any request for css/js file even after adding gem 'sass-rails', gem 'uglifier', gem 'coffee-rails',
require "sprockets/railtie" and even adding application.html.haml.
rake assets:precompile creates the application...css but not request for that file comes.
