Change default location of javascript source directory

[ryenski]

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate venue for this comment/question; if not could you point me to the right direction?

It seems odd to me to have images and style sheet sources living together with javascripts under the app/javascripts directory.

That is why, in every new project, the first thing I do is rename app/javascripts to app/frontend. It seems more natural to me to have the following directory structure:

app/frontend/src          # javascripts
app/frontend/images       # images
app/frontend/stylesheets  # stylesheets

My impression is that Rails 6 will unify the asset pipeline and Webpacker into a single asset director, which would be ideal. But for now, I feel like it hurts my brain less to do make this change in new projects, and I was wondering if anyone else felt this pain.

No problem.
