jRails is a drop-in jQuery replacement for Prototype/script.aculo.us on Rails.

jRails is a drop-in jQuery replacement for Prototype/script.aculo.us on Rails. Using jRails, you can get all of the same default Rails helpers for javascript functionality using the lighter jQuery library.

Visual Effects

The visual effects in jRails are based on the new jquery-fx library. jRails currently uses a slightly modified version of jquery fx code to get some of the desired effects. This code is evolving and is subject to change. In the meatime, you can get a taste of the visual effects that are currently available.

How to use

Just install and go! Once installed, the previous Prototype/script.aculo.us helpers will be replaced by jQuery ones. In order for them to function correctly, just include the appropriate javascript files in the head of your page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery.js"></script><br />

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-ui.js"></script><br />

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-fx.js"></script><br />

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jrails.js"></script>

You can also use the Rails javascript_include_tag helper with :default to load them automagically.

<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

.script/plugin install http://ennerchi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/jrails
