Useful Rails javascript expansions for EXTJS

If you’re using Edge Rails (or > 2.1, which isn’t out at time of writing), and are using the EXT JS framework anywhere, here are a couple of handy javascript include tag expansions to clean up your views. Just chuck them into any file in your config/initializers directory:

ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper.register_javascript_expansion :ext => ['ext/adapter/ext/ext-base', 'ext/ext-all']

ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper.register_javascript_expansion :ext_grid_filter => ['ext/ux/menu/EditableItem', 'ext/ux/menu/RangeMenu', 'ext/ux/grid/GridFilters', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/Filter', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/StringFilter', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/DateFilter', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/ListFilter', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/NumericFilter', 'ext/ux/grid/filter/BooleanFilter']

The top one includes the relevant EXT base files and the second one includes all the Grid Filters from the excellent Filter Grid plugin (see http://ccinct.com/lab/filter-grid/.

Include them as usual like this:

javascript_include_tag :ext, :ext_grid_filter, :cache => 'ext_javascripts'
