<% end %>

my problem is while i enter to page via turbolinks the script doesn't load

how can i load single js on specific page

thanks!

Answer 1

Turbolinks will NOT update head. That's where the advantage is. The loading speed will be much faster without head reloading. That's why your content_for :head won't work.

For your case, the simplest solution is to put the script tag directly on page template.

Answer 2

Maybe adding data-no-turbolink to your script tag helps you.

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false" data-no-turbolink></script>
