Description
This pull request ports over the changes introduced in stimulusreflex/cable_ready#244
This allows developers to disable the assets pre-compilation step, which previously happened automatically if the gem was included and sprockets was installed in the app.
If the project is using esbuild/webpack/vite it's very likely that there's no need to precompile the StimulusReflex assets in your app.
Why should this be added
So that developers can turn off the pre-compilation step if they don't ship the StimulusReflex assets via the Asset pipeline.
