Rails 3: Where to put js/css plugins without separating files?

Question

Rails beginner here. I want to use a few plugins (such as videoJS or jQuery UI) that contain both CSS and Javascript files in their downloads. I see that rails separates the two, putting JS in public/javascript and CSS in public/stylesheets.

Where should I put the files so that I can keep the JS and CSS together, and how do I reference them?

You can put JS and CSS anywhere you want in public dir. For example: you have got videoJS plugin in public dir:

public
  - stylesheets
  - javascripts
  - videoJS
    - videojs.js
    - videojs.css
    - reset.css
    - jquery.min.js

So now you just need to add this:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag '/videoJS/videojs', '/videoJS/reset' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag '/videoJS/videojs', '/videoJS/jquery.min' %>
