Using Ruby variable in Javascript (In App View)

is there a way to create a kind of variable in a Ruby on Rails view to use it later in a javascript tag?

I want to do something like that:

    <p>
    <%  test=Build.where("result = 1").count(:result) %> of the builds succeeded.
    </p>


<%= javascript_tag do %>

            console.log(test);

<% end %>

Is there a way to do that? This is not working.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can access any ruby variable in an erb with <%= %>

Since you want to show it as a string do

console.log('<%= Build.where("result = 1").count(:result) %>');
