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

Here's how to do it especially if you don't have to execute tons of libraries for your specific page, but only to run a few hundreds lines of JS more or less.

Since it's perfectly fine to embed Javascript code into HTML, just create under app/views shared.js directory and place there your page/pages specific code inside my_cool_partial.html.erb

So now from wherever you want you simply do:

  = render :partial => 'shared.js/my_cool_partial'

And that's it, k?
