{{asset 'scripts'}} helper

[daffl]

Currently there is only two asset helpers. When looking at the layout page, instead of having to add

{{#isProduction}}
    <script src="/node_modules/steal/steal.production.js" main="pmo/main.stache!done-autorender"></script>
    {{else}}
    <script src="/node_modules/steal/steal.js"></script>
{{/isProduction}}

Every time, could we just add an

{{asset 'scripts'}}

Helper that implements that logic (using require('package.json').main as the main for production)?

Not a bad idea, maybe {{asset 'steal'}} would be better though since this is only about steal.

[matthewp]

thinking about it a bit more this isn't really want {{asset}} is for. {{asset}} is for 3rd party libraries to create DOM elements that are associated with something that is loaded as part of the page lifecycle.

For example done-css registers styles using assetRegister(load.name, "css", callback) where callback is a function that gets called when load.name (a module) is part of the page lifecycle.

That being said, another helper that makes it easier to add the steal script tag is a good idea. Maybe something like:

{{steal cacheVersion=12}}

defaulting to node_modules/steal/steal.js in dev and node_modules/steal/steal.production.js in production.

We don't have the {{asset}} helper any more. But what done-ssr should do is add the appropriate script tags for you in production. It can consume the bundle graph that steal-tools will be exporting.

We don't have an asset helper any more. However #212 and #211 would do what we want.
