jquery-rails
jQuery! For Rails! So great.
This gem provides:
- jQuery 1, 2 and 3
- the jQuery UJS adapter
- assert_select_jquery to test jQuery responses in Ruby tests
Versions
Starting with v2.1, the jquery-rails gem follows these version guidelines
to provide more control over your app's jQuery version from your Gemfile:
patch version bump = updates to jquery-ujs, jquery-rails, and patch-level updates to jQuery
minor version bump = minor-level updates to jQuery
major version bump = major-level updates to jQuery and updates to Rails which may be backwards-incompatible
See VERSIONS.md to see which versions of jquery-rails bundle which
versions of jQuery.
Installation
The jquery and jquery-ujs files will be added to the asset pipeline and available for you to use. If they're not already in app/assets/javascripts/application.js
by default, add these lines:
If you are running Rails 5.1 and up, and if you have included //= require rails-ujs
, then jquery_ujs
is not needed anymore. You can just add:
If you want to use jQuery 2, you can require jquery2
instead:
And if you want to use jQuery 3, you can require jquery3
:
For jQuery UI, we recommend the jquery-ui-rails gem, as it includes the jquery-ui css and allows easier customization.
As of v3.0, jquery-rails no longer includes jQuery UI. Use the
jquery-ui-rails gem above.
