Serenade.js for Ruby on Rails

Serenade.js is a JavaScript client side MVC framework. This gem makes it easy to use Serenade.js with the Ruby on Rails Asset Pipeline in Rails 3.1 and later.

Add it to the assets group in your Gemfile:

group :assets do
  gem 'serenade_rails'
end

You can now require Serenade in your application.js file, or wherever you prefer:

//= require serenade

Serenade should now be loaded and ready. See the Serenade README for examples.

Views

You can also easily use views from the asset pipeline. Just use the extension .serenade on your views, for example, place something like this in app/assets/javascripts/test.serenade:

h1 "Hello world"

Now you can render this view:

document.appendChild(Serenade.render('test'));

Couldn't be simpler!

If the path to your view starts with views, that initial part is stripped off, so you could have placed the above view in app/assets/javascripts/views/test.serenade without changing the code.
