Rails core - Mar 2010 - Decoupling the view layer in Rails 3 - install UJS and template/css frameworks as gems using generator

Since the idea of UJS is loose coupling, the UJS framework of choice
should be installed as a gem, just like we do for markup languages
such as Redcloth etc. Same goes for the template language IMO.

Rails doesn''t even require any view frontend in many cases, fx when
using a javascript framework such as Sproutcore for the view. This
kind of approach is the way of the future...

I think there should instead be a GENERATOR to INSTALL the VIEW LAYER
(as gems in Gemfile) if required.
When run, the user should be given a choice of which template
languages to install (ERB as default) and which UJS framework to
install (perhaps jQuery as default).

This generator could be run as one of the final steps in the rails app
generator.

That''s what the prototype legacy helper plugin tends to do (even
though it''s not a gem) :
