# Ruby on Rails unobtrusive scripting adapter
|
|
|
|
This unobtrusive scripting support file is developed for the Ruby on Rails framework, but is not strictly tied to any specific backend. You can drop this into any application to:
|
|
|
|
- force confirmation dialogs for various actions;
|
|
- make non-GET requests from hyperlinks;
|
|
- make forms or hyperlinks submit data asynchronously with Ajax;
|
|
- have submit buttons become automatically disabled on form submit to prevent double-clicking.
|
|
|
|
These features are achieved by adding certain [`data` attributes][data] to your HTML markup. In Rails, they are added by the framework's template helpers.
|
|
|
|
## Optional prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Note that the `data` attributes this library adds are a feature of HTML5. If you're not targeting HTML5, these attributes may make your HTML to fail [validation][validator]. However, this shouldn't create any issues for web browsers or other user agents.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### NPM
|
|
|
|
npm install rails-ujs --save
|
|
|
|
### Yarn
|
|
|
|
yarn add rails-ujs
|
|
|
|
Ensure that `.yarnclean` does not include `assets` if you use [yarn autoclean](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/autoclean/).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Asset pipeline
|
|
|
|
In a conventional Rails application that uses the asset pipeline, require `rails-ujs` in your `application.js` manifest:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
//= require rails-ujs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ES2015+
|
|
|
|
If you're using the Webpacker gem or some other JavaScript bundler, add the following to your main JS file:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import Rails from 'rails-ujs';
|
|
Rails.start()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to run tests
|
|
|
|
Run `bundle exec rake ujs:server` first, and then run the web tests by visiting http://localhost:4567 in your browser.
