Question

Take the standard controller action redirect code:

respond_to do |format|
  format.html { redirect_to companies_url }
  format.js
end

Is there a way to only perform a couple of additional queries if the format is .js?

Answer 1

Sure, just add them in the format.js responder block

respond_to do |format|
  format.html { redirect_to companies_url }
  format.js {
    couple(:of)
    additional_queries
  }
end
