in order to jQuery trigger RJS format.js response do dataType: 'script'

$.ajax({
  url: $("form#new_picture").attr("action"),
  type: "POST",
  data: formdata,
  processData: false,
  contentType: false,
  dataType: 'script'
});

check last 5 checkboxes

$('tr input').slice(-5).prop('checked', 'true')

Escaping XSS

$('.my-item').text('<script>alert(0)</script> aaa')  // will escape 
$('.my-item').html('<script>alert(0)</script> aaa')  // will not escape  XSS unsafe


    info = $('.my-item')
    info.text('')
    info.append("<i class='fa fa-file-o'></i> ")
    info.append(document.createTextNode($('input').val())) // createTextNode this will escape

Rails UJS callbacks

https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/wiki/ajax

  $("a[data-prompt]").on "ajax:error", (handler, data, status, xhr) ->
    alert 'Error occurred while sending your message !!!'

passing additional data params in UJS

it seems that Rails UJS lib is using data-params for passing additional params when doing ajax request

= link_to '/applications/123', method: 'patch', remote: true, data: { params: { :'application[name]' => 'bar' }, confirm: 'true' } do 
  something

rails UJS change js to json

all you have to do is to use data-type json in link

= link_to 'foo', root_path, data: {type:json, prompt: ...}

on Bindings

good article difference between .bind() .live() .delegate()

overal bindings when page is loaded

$(document).ready -> 
  #...

#is equivalent of 

$(document).on 'ready', ->  


# so for when document is ready or when turbolinks.js loads the page

$(document).on 'ready page:load', ->
  $('#fetch_custom_form').change ->
    $(this).submit()
    

# or even cleaner

ready = ->
  alert('aa')
$(document).ready(ready)
$(document).on('page:load', ready)

own bindings

class Foo
  load: ->
    thisI = this
    $.ajax "/application",
      success: (data) ->
        $('#foo').html(data)
        $(document).trigger('fooLoaded')

$(document).on 'ready fooLoaded', ->
  foo = new Foo
  foo.load()

jQuery $.when().then() and gladual delayed recursion

...or how to load multiple ajax request gradually (one after one)

class LoadStuff

  loadAll: ->
    names = ['one', 'two', 'three']
    this.recursionLoad(names.pop(), names)
  
  recursionLoad: (one, many) ->
    self = this
    if one
      $.when(self.loadOne(one)).then ->
        self.recursion(many.pop(), many)
        
  loadOne: (registryName) ->
    $.ajax '/foo/bar',
      type: 'get'
      dataType: 'json'
      data:
        name: registryName
      error:
        #...
      success: (data) ->
        #...
        
        
l = new LoadStuff
l.loadAll()   # will trigger ajax calls one after one 

Make class accessable from Firebug Console

# app/assets/javascripts/my_script.coffee

class FooBar
  car: ->
    alert 'aaa'
    
window.FooBar = FooBar

and in firebug console you can now do:

foo = new FooBar
foo.car()

Select elements within of element

<div class="foo">
  <span>foo</span>
</div>

<span>foo</span>

$('span')               // all spans

$('.div span')          // span inside `.foo` div 

var my_div = $('.foo')
$('span', my_div)       // span inside `.foo` div

convert value to boolean in JavaScript

!!4       // true
!!null    // false
!!false   // false
!!'aaa'   // true

Remove a value from an array

  array = ['keep', 'add-new']
  array = (x for x in array when x != 'keep')
  array   # => ['add-new']

Check if JSON has a element in CoffeeScript

# data loaded through ajax [Object { draft=true, id=49}, Object { draft=false, id=44}]

hasAnyDrafts = (data) ->
  (x for x in data when x['draft']).length > 0

jQuery Ajax example + load Handlebars template

$.ajax '/documents/latest',
  type: 'get'
  dataType: 'json'
  data:
    document_name_id: 11
    owner_type: 'Client'
    owner_ids:  22
  success: (data) ->
    $('#existing_documents').html(HandlebarsTemplates['documents/latest_docs'](data))
  error: ->
    $('#existing_document_versions').html('Loading...')
    

jQuery example how to properly watch if chekbox was chceked and if so check other checkboxes

coffescript:

$('input:checkbox[data-toggle-checkboxes]').change ->
  target = $(@).data('target')
  boxes  = $(@).closest('form').find('input:checkbox[name="' + target + '"]').prop('checked', $(@).is(':checked'))

html:

<form>
  <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="toggle" id="toggle" data-toggle-checkboxes="true" data-target="ids[]">

  <input type="checkbox" value="4" name="ids[]" id="ids_">
  <input type="checkbox" value="5" name="ids[]" id="ids_">
  <input type="checkbox" value="6" name="ids[]" id="ids_">
</form>

jQuery: 1.9 Rails : 3.2 date: 2013-04-11 credits: Delwynd, with my small changes

jQuery is option

$('input#global').is(':checkbox')
$('input#global').is(':checked')
$('input#global').is(':disabled')

jQuery fetching data attribute values

let say you have

<form action="/foo" data-draft-id="34"></form>

you can fetch data with:

$('form').data('draft-id')

$('form').data('draftId')   //more valid js syntax

Handlebars helper isSelected()

handlebars helper for determine which option was selected in select box

helper

# a/a/javascript/app.coffee
Handlebars.registerHelper 'isSelected', (id, select_element) ->
  return 'selected="selected"' if ( $(select_element).val().toString() == id.toString())

template

#a/a/javascripts/templates/documnet.hbs
<option value=""></option>
{{#each this}}
  <option value="{{id}}" {{isSelected id "select#document_document_name_id"}}>{{name}}</option>
{{/each}}

note: I tried this with pure Handlebars not as part of Ember.js rails 3.2.12 date: 2013-03-22

Get url variables

#app/assets/javascript/app.coffee
$(document).ready ->
  window.getQueryVariable = (variable) ->
    query = window.location.search.substring(1)
    vars = query.split("&")
    i = 0

    while i < vars.length
      pair = vars[i].split("=")
      return pair[1]  if pair[0] is variable
      i++
    false

usage:

if getQueryVariable('document_name_id')  == '14'
