title: How to use npm packages in rails?
body: <p>I'm trying to use the <a href="https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace" rel="noreferrer">Ace editor</a> in my Ruby on Rails app, with majority of the view composed as React components. I'm using the <a href="https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails" rel="noreferrer">react-rails gem</a> and I'm not using flux at all. </p>
  
  <p>I found this <a href="https://github.com/securingsincity/react-ace" rel="noreferrer">react-ace</a> package, but I have to use npm to install it. I've been able to get bower components working with bower-rails gem but never got npm packages to work. Is there a way to use this just through the asset pipeline (through vendor)? </p>
  
  <p>By the way, I'm not using browserify or ES6 so I don't even have <code>import</code>. I've been doing everything through the asset pipeline so far.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
