Question

I was wondering if there was a way to do a redirect inside a js.erb file. I’m converting an app to use ajax so it feels snappier, but my create action leaves the user on the index page.

I could do something like:

window.location.replace("/model/@object.id")

But I’d prefer to do a full blown redirect_to model_path(@object) if it is possible?

If anyone finds this, here’s my code in my List’s create.js.erb:

<% if @list.errors.any? %>
 //render errors
<% else %>
 $(window.location.replace("/list/<%= @list.id %>"))
<% end %>
