I know the fact that by default Rails chooses the javascript file depending on action's name to render:
For example if I have
def create
#Code and Stuff happening here
end
and here I have
create.js.erb
which will be ran by default
But is there a way that I can choose a different javascript file to be rendered from inside the action ?
For example
create1.js.erb
create2.js.erb
You'll want to add something like the following:
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :create1 }
end
Alternately, if you had a different path to it besides the default you could use:
format.js { render :file => "/path/to/save.js.erb" }
If it is a more dynamic requirement than this, you could always use string interpolation or "string".to_sym to render the desired view.
