Instance Method Details
#escape_javascript(javascript) Also known as: #j
Escapes carriage returns and single and double quotes for JavaScript segments.
Also available through the alias j(). This is particularly helpful in JavaScript responses, like:
$('some_element').replaceWith('<%= j render 'some/element_template' %>');
# File 'actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/javascript_helper.rb', line 28
def escape_javascript(javascript) javascript = javascript.to_s if javascript.empty? result = "" else result = javascript.gsub(/(\\|<\/|\r\n|\342\200\250|\342\200\251|[\n\r"']|[`]|[$])/u, JS_ESCAPE_MAP) end javascript.html_safe? ? result.html_safe : result end
#j(javascript)
Alias for #escape_javascript.
# File 'actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/javascript_helper.rb', line 38
alias_method :j, :escape_javascript
#javascript_tag(content_or_options_with_block = nil, html_options = {}, &block)
Returns a JavaScript tag with the content
inside. Example:
javascript_tag "alert('All is good')"
Returns:
<script>
//<![CDATA[
alert('All is good')
//]]>
</script>
html_options
may be a hash of attributes for the <script>
tag.
javascript_tag "alert('All is good')", type: 'application/javascript'
Returns:
<script type="application/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
alert('All is good')
//]]>
</script>
Instead of passing the content as an argument, you can also use a block in which case, you pass your html_options
as the first parameter.
<%= javascript_tag type: 'application/javascript' do -%>
alert('All is good')
<% end -%>
If you have a content security policy enabled then you can add an automatic nonce value by passing nonce: true
as part of html_options
. Example:
<%= javascript_tag nonce: true do -%>
alert('All is good')
<% end -%>
# File 'actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/javascript_helper.rb', line 75
def javascript_tag( = nil, = {}, &block) content = if block_given? = if .is_a?(Hash) capture(&block) else end if [:nonce] == true [:nonce] = content_security_policy_nonce end content_tag("script", javascript_cdata_section(content), ) end
