Jrails and jquery-rails together?
- by ecoologic
I hope you forgive me if I'm a little confused about this.
Jrails rewrites all the helper methods for rjs otherwise in prototype.
Jquery-rails overrides rails.js (so I taught the rjs helpers as well, but I see it's not) and the rest of the libraries in jquery instead of prototype.
Does it means that with just Jquery-rails I can't use rjs at all?
Then do these gems work well together and let me completely forget prototype?
Is there any disadvantage in using them together?
I read some complaining about the fact that jrails uses jq 1.5 and now there is 1.8, but jquery-rails gives me the last version (is there retro compatibility?), but how will this affect my development (using both the gems together)? I mean have you got some examples of jquery-ui plugins I can't use or I could have problems with?
Any help is appreciated.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against prototype, just I keep on having conflicts over conflicts using both of them, and I have to chose I pick Jquery.
