I've ran into a slight issue referring to images in production environment. Image files are generated using imagemin and I end up with /images/.. files – which is totally fine, but I don't know how to refer to them in CoffeeScript. Specifically in my ECO templates that I'm using BackboneJS with.
Everything works fine in CSS – compass seems to be taking care of putting in the right urls. But there's no helper I can use (or I don't know how) to refer to that image url.
So a simple:
<img src="images/draggable.png" />
Works in development, but not in production.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using grunt/yeoman. Here's my Gruntfile.js:
'use strict';
if (process.env.NODE_ENV != 'production') {
var LIVERELOAD_PORT = 35729;
var lrSnippet = require('connect-livereload')({port: LIVERELOAD_PORT});
var mountFolder = function (connect, dir) {
return connect.static(require('path').resolve(dir));
};
}
// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// use this if you want to match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
// templateFramework: 'lodash'
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// load all grunt tasks
require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
// configurable paths
