How to embed Ruby in JavaScript (Rails + .html.erb file)

Question

I have a .html.erb file, with some javascript in it. I would like to do something like this:

var stuff = \'
<%= @ruby_var.title %>
\'
         


        

Answer 1

You can use the javascript_tag function to include Javascript in a .html.erb file.

Example:

javascript_tag "alert('This is a test')"

in your foo.html.erb will return

to the browser.
