The right way to include page-specific JavaScript in Rails

Question

I want to include this, for example:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $(\'#my-modal\').modal(options)
});

In one specific place in

Answer 1

One of the solution is to insert our javascript in to its own file: Reference Link

For example :

// app/assets/javascripts/alert.js

alert("My example alert box.");

And including this file only in the view we want it to execute:

<%# app/views/page/contact.html.erb %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "alert" %>
Contact
This is the contact page

And don’t forget to include your new file in the list of files to be compiled:

# config/environments/production.rb
config.assets.precompile += %w( alert.js )
