Using Rails 3.1, where do you put your “page specific” JavaScript code?

Question

To my understanding, all of your JavaScript gets merged into 1 file. Rails does this by default when it adds //= require_tree . to the bottom of your appl

Answer 1

I combined some answers into:

Application helper:

module ApplicationHelper
  def js_page_specific_include
    page_specific_js = params[:controller] + '_' + params[:action]
    if Rails.application.assets.find_asset(page_specific_js).nil?
      javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true
    else
      javascript_include_tag 'application', page_specific_js, 'data-turbolinks-track' => true
    end
  end
end

layouts/application.html.haml:

 
%html{lang: 'uk'}
  %head   
    = stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true
   bla-bla-bla
    = js_page_specific_include   
   bla-bla-bla
