Tools to improve your life as Rails developer.

You can write your javascript functions using yojs namespaces declaration. Namespaces that matches your application name, current controller and current action will automatic be fired.

• Put in your Gemfile:

gem 'codus'

• Install the gem with bundle install

• Put in your layout:

<%= load_yojs(:app_name => 'yourappname') %>

• Put in your application.js

//= require jquery
//= require yojs

• Declare your functions using yojs and enjoy your life

Options

app_name

The load_yojs helper method will print a javascript code, using query and yojs, that calls namespaces matching the app_name option, current controller name and current action name.

For instance, if you're in /posts/new it will call:

1. yourappname

2. yourappname.posts

3. yourappname.posts.new

onload_method_name

You can set the name of the last namespace to be called on the unload event with the onload_method_name option. For instance:

<%= load_yojs(:app_name => 'yourappname', :onload_method_name => "myonloadmethod") %>

If you're in /posts/new it will call:

1. yourappname.

2. yourappname.posts.

3. yourappname.posts.new.

method_names_mapper

You can also configure equivalent namespaces using :<method_names_mapper. For instance:>

<%= load_yojs(:app_name => 'yourappname', 

                     :method_names_mapper => {

                                  :create => :new,

                                  :update => :edit

                                }

                    )%>

If you're in /posts/create it will call:

1. yourappname

2. yourappname.posts

3. yourappname.posts.create

4. yourappname.posts.new

We recomend you to structure your js files according your namespace hierarchy. Example

- assets
  |- javascripts 
     |- application.js
     |- components (jquery, plugins, etc)
     |- myapp
     |  |- myapp.js (global javascripts in "myapp" namespace)
     |  |- controller1
     |  |  |- controller1.js (javascripts shared between "myapp.controller1" namespace)
     |  |  |- action1.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller1.action1" namespace)
     |  |  |- action2.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller1.action2" namespace)
     |  |  |- actionN.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller1.actionN" namespace)
     |  |  
     |  |- controller2
     |  |  |- controller2.js (javascripts shared between "myapp.controller2" namespace)
     |  |  |- action1.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller2.action1" namespace)
     |  |  |- action2.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller2.action2" namespace)
     |  |  |- actionN.js (javascripts for "myapp.controller2.actionN" namespace)
     |  |  
     |  |- controllerN
     |  |  |- controllerN.js (javascripts shared between "myapp.controllerN" namespace)
     |  |  |- ...
