- # == JavaScriptGenerator
- #
- # JavaScriptGenerator templates end in <tt>.rjs</tt>. Unlike conventional templates which are used to
- # render the results of an action, these templates generate instructions on how to modify an already rendered page. This makes it easy to
- # modify multiple elements on your page in one declarative Ajax response. Actions with these templates are called in the background with Ajax
- # and make updates to the page where the request originated from.
- #
- # An instance of the JavaScriptGenerator object named +page+ is automatically made available to your template, which is implicitly wrapped in an ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#update_page block.
- #
- # When an <tt>.rjs</tt> action is called with +link_to_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated. Example:
- #
- # link_to_remote :url => {:action => 'delete'}
- #
- # The subsequently rendered <tt>delete.rjs</tt> might look like:
- #
- # page.replace_html 'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar'
- # page.remove "person-#{@person.id}"
- # page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list'
- #
- # This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list.
- #
- # See the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator::GeneratorMethods documentation for more details.
