+### Rails-ujs event handlers
+
+Rails 5.1 introduced rails-ujs and dropped jQuery as a dependency.
+As a result the Unobtrusive JavaScript (UJS) driver has been rewritten to operate without jQuery.
+These introductions cause small changes to `custom events` fired during the request:
+
+NOTE: Signature of calls to UJS’s event handlers have changed.
+Unlike the version with jqeury, all custom events return only one parameter: `event`.
+In this parameter, there is an additional attribute `details` which contains an array of extra parameters.
+
+| Event name | Extra parameters (event.detail) | Fired |
+|---------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `ajax:before` | | Before the whole ajax business. |
+| `ajax:beforeSend` | [xhr, options] | Before the request is sent. |
+| `ajax:send` | [xhr] | When the request is sent. |
+| `ajax:stopped` | | When the request is stopped. |
+| `ajax:success` | [response, status, xhr] | After completion, if the response was a success. |
+| `ajax:error` | [response, status, xhr] | After completion, if the response was an error. |
+| `ajax:complete` | [xhr, status] | After the request has been completed, no matter the outcome.|
+
+Example usage:
+
+```html
+document.body.addEventListener('ajax:success', function(event) {
+ var detail = event.detail;
+ var data = detail[0], status = detail[1], xhr = detail[2];
+})
+```
