Fingerprintless
Don't want to use fingerprinted filenames when you use <%= image_tag %>
on your rails website in production mode? Fingerprintless allows you to remove the fingerprint from an url generated by <%= image_tag %>
in the Rails asset pipeline. This can be extremely helpful for SEO purposes or when you write a newsletter that needs a static link.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'fingerprintless'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Usage
To disable fingerprinting for a specific image in your view, use:
<%= image_tag "foobar.png", :fingerprinting => false %>
Now <img src="/assets/foobar-c9c1735bd1858a6c3163a46059408bc2.png">
becomes <img src="/assets/foobar.png">
