Question

So my application.js file is including jquery accordingly, and everything I’ve put directly into it.

However, one of my controllers – lets call it Books – has its own books.js file

I want the books.js file only to be present when viewing pages within the books controller.

It doesn’t seem to be including it at all though – any ideas?

Answer 1

First you should look at http://railscasts.com/episodes/279-understanding-the-asset-pipeline

Second in app/assets/javascripts/application.js

does it contain something like

//= require_directory .

or

//= require_tree .
