Turbolinks

Some of you might want to use VideoJS with Turbolinks. andrkrn provided CoffeeScript that he use:

change = ->
    for player in document.getElementsByClassName 'video-js'
        video = videojs('example_video')

before_change = ->
    for player in document.getElementsByClassName 'video-js'
        video = videojs('example_video')
        video.dispose()

$(document).on('page:before-unload', before_change)
$(document).on('page:change', change)
