merb-jquery

Makes it easy to use jQuery in your application.

$ gem install merb_jquery

Add

require 'merb_jquery'

to your init.rb

$ rake merb:jquery:install Installs the latest jQuery to public/javascripts

In your layout, inside <head>:

<%= jquery %>

In your views:

<% jquery do %>

$('#foo').something();

<% end %>

jquery is a helper method is a shortcut to

throw_content :for_query and catch_content :for_jquery

You still need to inlude jQuery javascript file manually, for instance, using merb-assets:

# in init.rb

dependency “merb-assets”, “0.9.10”

# in Erb layout

<%= js_include_tag “jquery” %>

# or in Haml layout
