render different stylesheets for different partials in ruby

Hi,

I'm updating the frontend of a rails project. And I would like every new page that's built to a render a new stylesheet to the old one.

How would be the best way to do this?

Can I check for the partials name and and load a stylesheet a if it's name matches x y or z

I was thinking something like this

Check if partial name is x y or z if it is load new stylesheet a else load stylesheet b

I just don't know how i would actually write this.

Thanks!!

What's the reason for adding this layer of complexity? I could see wanting to use different stylesheets based on controllers or actions, (ie. front end vs admin), but I don't know why you would need something with this much logic for partials.

Off the top of my head, I don't know, because I haven't spent much time messing with the asset pipeline. What decided what partial gets loaded?

So the issue is that. The site is getting a redisgn. The current style sheet is out of control to say the least.

So moving forward I would like to start rebuilding a couple of pages, but have them load a new stylesheet for the new design.

Does this make sense? Should I do something different completely? Does anyone have any better ideas.
