Hello. How to correctly connect third-party JS libraries on Rails? Now I just copy the js files to the project folder, maybe there are better solutions like in npm: installation and update from the console? For example, now you are interested in connecting the momentjs library

Answer 1

Some libraries are also packaged in gems, but this is an exception at the moment.
As I understand it, the trend is now everywhere to create a package.json and Gulpfile.js (or whatever you want to collect statics) in the root and give the frontend at the mercy of someone who knows how to handle it.
