Rails - Mar 2009 - javascript file structure

hi

as far as i know (i''m new on ror) the file structure of javascript
files
are:

app/views/posts/...
public/javascripts/*.js

what i understand as a View is final step of the application, the thing
that user see, let''s say...the screen.  in this sense, javascript in
some cases, are also -part of- the "view" for some situations.

so, i understand that public/javascript is for general JS code purposes,
but in my case i need to build special JS files for every controller.
even more, in some cases, i need to build JS files for every action
file.

in order to mantain the things on its place, i began to build this
structure:

app/views/posts/edit.html.erb
app/views/posts/new.html.erb
public/javascripts/posts/edit.js
public/javascripts/posts/new.js

even when it works, i must say that i find a little disorder.  cuz, as i
said before, this JS code is more ralated to the "view".  so, i really
think that this will be a better structure:

app/views/posts/edit.html.erb
app/views/posts/new.html.erb
app/views/posts/edit.js
app/views/posts/new.js

¿is there an easy a way to make this structure?
¿how and where i must include these js files?
¿wich is the best rails practice for such a thing?

thanks...

Rails doesn''t really do much for you here - it''s expecting js
can be
served out of the document root (ie the public folder)
As far as I know you''re pretty much on your own here. One way would be
to have a rake task or similar that consolidates all of those small js
files into a single all.js file which the user''s browser can download
and cache once and for all - only all.js would need to be in public/
javascripts

Or is this way correct?

In your helper code like

def  js_to_be_included
   %{
       <script>
           function test_function{
                     -------
                }
                </script>
    }
end

       Now in your view include this
<%= js_to_be_included %>

      Now call it  like test_function
