Javascripter
Javascripter is a Rails plugin that helps keep your javascript files organized.
Install
To install, just add Javascripter to your vendor/plugins directory:
script/plugin install git://github.com/mokolabs/javascripter.git
Usage
To use Javascripter, replace your javascript_include_tags with a single tag:
<head>
<title>the.rails.ist</title>
<%= javascripts %>
</head>
Once you do, your javascripts will be included automatically, using the conventions below.
<head>
<title>the.rails.ist</title>
<script src="/javascripts/application.js?1183566571" />
</head>
Organize your javascripts
Javascripter uses a simple set of conventions:
- Javascript for your entire application should be stored in
application.js - Javascript for specific controllers should be stored in
controller.js - Javascript for specific actions should be stored in
controller_action.js - Javascript for specific actions should be stored in
controller/action.js(optional)
Follow these conventions and Javascripter will reward you with automagic goodness, loading javascripts for specific controllers or actions whenever they are active.
Support for :defaults
Need Prototype? Just use the :defaults parameter, like normal.
<%= javascripts :defaults %>
Include additional javascripts
Need to include extra javascript libraries? Use the :include parameter:
<%= javascripts :include => "lowpro" %>
<%= javascripts :include => ["lowpro", "lightbox"] %>
Generator
Javascripter also includes a generator that will create a default application.js script and separate javascript files for each controller in your application.
To use the generator, run this command in your terminal:
script/generate javascripts
If you add a new controller, just run the generator again and a new javascript for the controller will be created. (Existing javascripts will be ignored.)
