I'm trying to use D3, a javascript data visualization library in my rails 
app. The problem is that I can't figure out where to put the d3.js source 
and my .json data so that rails will serve it. 

My problem is in the way d3 issues a GET request when it looks for my json 
and d3.js files. 

Things I tried:
- setting up a static pages folder that is served with high_voltage gem. 
This didn't work for me as I couldn't get around my application layout so 
it wrapped my js and json in html. I think this is why this didn't work.
- putting the files to be served in the public folder. This didn't work 
because it couldn't find the routes for the public folder. I did turn on 
config.serve_static_assets in the production enviroment config file.

I feel like this question should have a simple answer as everything works 
perfectly if I put my html, json and d3.js files into a folder and start a 
simple python http server in that folder. I think my problem is in my 
understanding of the way rails is trying to serve things.

Thanks,
Ryan
