rails javascript_include_tag

Question

I have a few custom .js files in my public/javascripts folder. The 'javascript_include_tag' adds script tags to the head element. Are these executed in the order in which they appear. If yes, how do I control the order in which these script tags are added to my html.

thanks, ash

Answer 1

Yes, they are executed in order of appearance, so you just write them in the order you want. If you are currently using javascript_include_tag :all then you can include individual scripts instead to get the order you want:

javascript_include_tag :defaults
javascript_include_tag "script_1"
javascript_include_tag "script_2"
