Some background on what each of these are: JRails: an outdated attempt at a drop-in replacement for Prototype that implemented the Rails 2.x remote helpers. There's no reason to use this anymore if you're using Rails 3 or greater. jquery-ujs: the up-to-date JS file that is used by Rails 3.x apps to use the built-in remote helper methods (there is an equivalent prototype-ujs repo) Rails-3-jQuery: sounds like something similar to jquery-rails ( https://github.com/indirect/jquery-rails), which is the now officially supported gem for enabling and importing jQuery into a Rails 3 project
You definitely want to be using jquery-ujs (the rails.js file that it comes with) and you can either add it and include it in your project manually or use the jquery-rails gem to do it automatically. The DHH keynote from this morning actually focuses on the asset pipeline and mentions jquery-rails and prototype-rails: http://www.rubyinside.com/dhh-keynote-streaming-live-from-railsconf-2011-right-here-right-now-4769.html James On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 3:56 PM, Jason King <j...@handle.it> wrote: > +1 for jquery-ujs > > It's the way to go. > > On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 3:40 PM, Antonio Antillon <antilla...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> I have used jquery-ujs. >> Although sometimes installation from the command $ rails generate >> jquery:install have failed, you can always manually include the files >> inside public/javascripts >> >> >> >> >> On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 3:36 PM, Allan Schougaard < >> allanschouga...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am about to embark on JQuery trip, and I was wondering if anyone in our >>> little community has any experience to share? >>> >>> I have found: >>> >>> >>> - JRails: >>> >>> http://mirror.ozdiy.com/assets/b8/2f96a12bc919b37e09d303b86ea1b9_1251811910.html >>> - jquery-ujs: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs >>> - Rails-3-jQuery: https://github.com/lleger/Rails-3-jQuery >>> >>> Does any have experience with any of these or anything else? >>> >>> I've only found the following article, but it's bit dated: >>> http://www.alfajango.com/blog/rails-prototype-to-jquery/ >>> >>> Many thanks, >>> --Allan >>> >>> -- >>> SD Ruby mailing list >>> sdruby@googlegroups.com >>> http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby >> >> >> -- >> SD Ruby mailing list >> sdruby@googlegroups.com >> http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby >> > > -- > SD Ruby mailing list > sdruby@googlegroups.com > http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby > -- SD Ruby mailing list sdruby@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
