如何在onclick事件中使用Javascript调用“ link_to”

Question

I'm trying to get the rails-'link_to' funcionality in my Javascript (jQuery). In my Javascript I'm waiting for a onclick event and fetch some data via ajax. Afterwards I would like to call a

= link_to "Show", @mymodel, :remote => true, :id => "#{some.id}", :format => :js

But I cant figure out how to put it in JS. Thanks a ton for your help!

Answer 1

If you are using jquery you can attach a click event on the anchor tag after it has been created with your RoR code, like so

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#theid').click(function(){
        //do something here
    });
});

RJS is what you need:

Create a file app/views/mymodel/show.js.erb with your JS code. And then add this code to the show method of your controller:

respond_to do |format| 
  format.js
end
