Adding page-specific Javascript to each view in CakePHP

Question

In an attempt to keep my scripts maintainable, I\'m going to move each into their own file, organised by controller and action:

// scripts which only apply t         


        

Answer 1

Very easy to do in your default.ctp layout file:

An example to automatically include .css files per controller and/or controller/action (because I had this lying around, easily adaptable to .js files):

...
params['controller'] . '.css')) {
        echo $html->css($this->params['controller']);
    }
    if (is_file(WWW_ROOT . 'css' . DS . $this->params['controller'] . DS . $this->params['action'] . '.css')) {
        echo $html->css($this->params['controller'] . '/' . $this->params['action']);
    }
?>
