Discourse-common asset availability: difference between development and production?

Sorry, I meant to respond to this topic when I saw it last week, but completely forgot. You may be interested in how we compile templates for themes:

github.com/discourse/discourse

lib/theme_javascript_compiler.rb

main


      
          # frozen_string_literal: true
          
          class ThemeJavascriptCompiler
            class CompileError < StandardError
            end
          
            @@terser_disabled = false
            def self.disable_terser!
              raise "Tests only" if !Rails.env.test?
              @@terser_disabled = true
            end
          
            def self.enable_terser!
              raise "Tests only" if !Rails.env.test?
              @@terser_disabled = false
            end
          
            def initialize(theme_id, theme_name, settings = {}, minify: true)
              @theme_id = theme_id
              @input_tree = {}

We have extended versions of the compilers for some theme-specific functionality, but for basic use you can use Barber::Precompiler for raw templates, and Barber::Ember::Precompiler for ember templates.

It is indeed confusing that the compiler is loaded on the client in dev, but not production . It seems to me that it would be better to keep things the same, but maybe there is some reason for it.
