Question

I have some javascripts that I have copied into:

app/assets/javascripts

Mostly jQuery plugins. Some of them I need to load in a certain order. I’m in the process of trying to enable back-button support in my Ajax application.

How can I impose a load order on tree items not explicitly listed in my application.js file?

Answer 1

Your jQuery plugins should go in lib/assets/javascripts or vendor/assets/javascripts.

Then in your application.js manifest, simply include them in whatever order you want :

//= require_tree .
//= require jquery.first_plugin
//= require jquery.first_plugin

The require_tree will not load what is inside lib and vendor folders
