Dealing with JS plugins in rails 4 app

Question

I am trying to integrate a wrapbootstrap theme, that among other things has a folder of ~20 JS plugins:

My understanding is that rails 4 no longer allows you to put these plugins in vendor/plugins. Assuming this is true, what is the most efficient way to integrate ~20 plugins into an app? Do I need to move all CSS, JSS, images to their respective assets folders? This seems pretty cumbersome.

Appreciate the help.

You will need to take all .js file and put into app/assets/javascripts folder and take all .css file and put into app/assets/stylesheets folder. After you moved the following file, you need to update your application.js and application.css and reference it

Take a look at mine for example:

app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.ui.all
//= require jquery.datetimepicker
//= require bootstrap.min
//= require turbolinks
//= require jquery_nested_form
//= require_tree .

app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

/*
 *= require bootstrap.min
 *= require jquery.ui.all
 *= require jquery.datetimepicker
 *= require alert
 *= require_tree .
 *= require_self
 */
