Javascript Include Tag Best Practice in a Rails Application

Question

Say I need to call a javascript file in the of an ERb template. My instinct is to do the usual:

<%= javascript_incl         


        

Answer 1

I would use content_for.

For instance, specify the place to insert it in the application layout:

<%= yield(:head) -%>

And send it there from a view:

<%- content_for(:head) do -%>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults -%>
<%- end -%>
