railx

The goal of rails is to make easy a full customizable ajax experience within a rails application, managing:

• ajax calls
• flash messages
• redirect_to
• deep linking
• browser history
• page title

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "railx", :git => "https://github.com/sekipaolo/railx.git"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

Add following lines to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

	//= require railx

then in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

	*= require railx
	*/

Now all your links will trigger an ajax call, filling the body with the content of the response.

You can configure a default target for all links in your javascript files in this way:

window.Railx.default_target = "#container"

or specify it on Html side

	<a href="some_url" data-target="#left-div"> Link </a>

from a controller you can update the content of mor divs other than the main content.

  def index
    # do something
    updatediv "#header", "layouts/header"
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @feeds }
    end
  end

the target div will be filled with the content of index.html.erb and the div with id "header" with the content of partial layouts/_header.haml (or erb or other formats)
