Reusing js.rjs files in Rails?

Question

I have a .js.rjs file that should be used in many places.

How can I reuse it?

For example, in my .js.rjs file, I need something like this:

page << ( render "widely_used_stuff" ) 

where "wide_used_stuff" is the file wide_used_stuff.js.rjs containing the code used in many places.

In addition, I need to pass variables to wide_used_stuff.js.rjs, for example, as follows:

 page << ( render "widely_used_stuff", :locals => {:custom_script => my_script} ) 

Update 1

I tried the following methods from a .js.rjs file:

 render "widely_used_stuff" 

The rails complain about it because it requires this "partial" to be partial "erb"

In the following way:

 render :file => "controller/widely_used_stuff.js.rjs" 

Rails do not complain, but "wide_used_stuff.js.rjs" is not inserted into the .js.rjs file called render. I checked the XHR answer.

I think the problem is in the calling .js.rjs file, because it is not erb ...

Answer 1

Hi, have you tried render "controller/widely_used_stuff.js.rjs" ?

Answer 2

 page << render(:file => "common/index.js.rjs") 

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

 render :partial => 'view_directory/widely_used_stuff.js.rjs'
