Does Rails 4 allow ruby code in a .JS view, in rails 3 it was required to have .erb.js in the filename

Question

  def test
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js { Rails.logger.info "in JS handler" }
    end
  end



/app/views/users/test.erb.js <== no longer works in rails 4

and

/app/views/users/test.js <== still works in rails 4 but does it allow ruby inside this file?

Surely you mean `.js.erb` ? – Thong Kuah Oct 16 '13 at 11:03 — Thong Kuah, Oct 16 '13 at 11:03

Your file must be named test.js.erb to include Ruby code in it.
