Hi,
I have a long list (~50) of items which should each be clickable and will send an Ajax request to the server. Now, each item will be calling the same action, just with a different id.
Ideally this looks like a clear case of putting the Ajax javascript in application.js. It's in one place, just call a single function onclick and pass through the id.
However there are 2 issues:
1. I am worried that the Ajax request from application.js will not have access to any authenticity token as it was not generated by a Rails helper, and this could cause problems?
2. I'd prefer to use the Rails helpers to write the remote request if possible, in application.js I have to resort to hand-coding javascript.
The easy solution is just to have individual Ajax request code for each list item's onclick call, but that would bulk out the file a fair bit and seems messy.
So I'm between a rock and a hard place...
Any advice much appreciated!
-P
