Hey @sam,

Should this work for JavaScript files too?, I’m trying it but I have to remove the cache every time I add/edit a file.

I added this line to see if sprockets pick up new changes and it works without removing the cache.

```ruby
# config/environments/development.rb
config.assets.paths += %W(#{config.root}/plugins/<plugin-name>/assets/javascripts/**/*)

```

Should we add this by default in development? (for all plugins instead of a specific one), or there’s a better way?
