jquery-rails

jQuery! For Rails! So great.

This gem provides:

jQuery 1, 2 and 3
the jQuery UJS adapter
assert_select_jquery to test jQuery responses in Ruby tests

Versions

Starting with v2.1, the jquery-rails gem follows these version guidelines to provide more control over your app's jQuery version from your Gemfile:

patch version bump = updates to jquery-ujs, jquery-rails, and patch-level updates to jQuery
minor version bump = minor-level updates to jQuery
major version bump = major-level updates to jQuery and updates to Rails which may be backwards-incompatible

See VERSIONS.md to see which versions of jquery-rails bundle which versions of jQuery.

Installation

Add

gem 'jquery-rails'

to your Gemfile.

The jquery and jquery-ujs files will be added to the asset pipeline and available for you to use. If they're not already in app/assets/javascripts/application.js by default, add these lines:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs

If you are running Rails 5.1 and up, and if you have included //= require rails-ujs, then jquery_ujs is not needed anymore. You can just add:

//= require jquery

If you want to use jQuery 2, you can require jquery2 instead:

//= require jquery2
//= require jquery_ujs

And if you want to use jQuery 3, you can require jquery3:

//= require jquery3
//= require jquery_ujs

For jQuery UI, we recommend the jquery-ui-rails gem, as it includes the jquery-ui css and allows easier customization.

As of v3.0, jquery-rails no longer includes jQuery UI. Use the jquery-ui-rails gem above.
