Overview
StaticErrors is a gem to help with the creation of static error pages. It allows you to use a dynamically generated page as a template, so all of your default styling and layouts can be used to design the error page. This dynamic page is then saved for static rendering.
Syntax
[md]rake static_errors <options: option=value,value2>[/md]| Options | Use | Default |
|---|---|---|
| path | Changes the dynamic error root url | http://localhost:3000/errors/ |
| languages | Any additional languages to save | <none> |
| errors | Which errors to save | <none> |
| destination | Where to save the static error pages | public/ |

[/md]Final Considerations
You may wish to check the urls of any externally referenced files needed to render your error pages. ex: Should jquery/bootstrap/etc be at the same url for your static errors?
