Rails - Apr 2010 - Question: How do I mix Ruby and Javascript in application.js

How can I get rails to process and serve application.js.erb instead of
application.js?

I want to mix Ruby and Javascript code in the file.  I am building
Javascript arrays from data that i keep in a Rails model and the
arrays are static.

Create application.js.erb and put it in views/js/

then you
render :partial => ''js/application.js.erb'', :locals =>
{:data => @your_data}

and use variable ''data'' in your partial like

<script>
   var foo = <%= data[:foo]%>
</script>
