Ruby on Rails 4: How to include Javascript files in Rails web application?

Question

I am building a Rails 4 web application and I want to include some .js files into my application. Is it possible to directly add JavaScript file to my Rails ..app/asse

Answer 1

Taking a look at the application.html.erb file, you'll see that the application.js was referenced via:

<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true  %>

So when I had this challenge, what I did was: add this script in the file where I wanted to reference my custom javascript, but this time I modified the parameter. So instead of "application," I have this:

<%= javascript_include_tag "customjsFile", "data-turbolinks-track" => true  %>

Hope this helps.
