Question

I have an library of scripts I would like to implement on the client side of my rails application;

In the View, I know that I can do the following.

<%= javascript_include_tag 'folder/script.js' %>
..

And because there are so many separate script files, this process is very time wasting and redundant.

I know that there’s a technique to include all scripts in the public/javascript folder

<%= javascript_include_tag :all %>

But this would include the unwanted scripts outside of the destination folder specifically for the one View.

Is there a way to only include all scripts in an specific folder?

Thanks in advance

You can use the standard javascript_include_tag along with the Dir.glob method to include all the files in a directory. So, something like this should work:

<%= javascript_include_tag Dir.chdir(File.join(Rails.root, "public", "javascripts", "your", "subdiretory")) { |d| Dir.glob("*.js") } %>
