In: lib/actionscript_helper.rb

Provides functionality for working with ActionScript in your views.

Methods

Constants

ACTIONSCRIPT_PATH = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'as')

Public Instance methods

Returns a JavaScript tag with the content inside. Example:

  javascript_tag "alert('All is good')"

Returns:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  //<![CDATA[
  alert('All is good')
  //]]>
  </script>

html_options may be a hash of attributes for the <script> tag. Example:

  javascript_tag "alert('All is good')", :defer => 'true' # => <script defer="true" type="text/javascript">alert('All is good')</script>

    # File lib/actionscript_helper.rb, line 57
57:       def actionscript_tag(content, html_options = {})
58:         #content_tag("script", javascript_cdata_section(content), html_options.merge(:type => "text/javascript"))
59:       end

Includes the Action Pack JavaScript libraries inside a single <script> tag. The function first includes prototype.js and then its core extensions, (determined by filenames starting with "prototype"). Afterwards, any additional scripts will be included in undefined order.

Note: The recommended approach is to copy the contents of lib/action_view/helpers/javascripts/ into your application’s public/javascripts/ directory, and use javascript_include_tag to create remote <script> links.

33:         (Dir.glob(File.join(JAVASCRIPT_PATH, '*')) - prototype_libs).each do |filename| 
34:           javascript << "\n" << IO.read(filename)
35:         end
36:         javascript << '</script>'
37:       end

Escape carrier returns and single and double quotes for JavaScript segments.
