Q:

In RoR how can I set the default file DirectoryIndex?

In Apache I can use DirectoryIndex to specify different files or extensions to be the default served--how do I accomplish this with RoR? In the public directories I have a few folders that need to serve JS files as the index.
With Apache, I'd do:
DirectoryIndex index.js

I'm using WEBrick locally and Heroku for production.

A:

I ended up creating a controller that loaded in the JS, like
def show
  output = File.read("public/js/stats/index.js")
  render :text => output
end

Then I created a route
match 'stats/index' => 'stats#show'

May not be the most elegant, but I think it was easier than managing dependencies between local and production environments
