Question

I have a rails application using turbolinks

one page i should load script, and i don't want load it on all the application

specific add it on page like that

 <% content_for :head do %> <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script> <% end %>

my problem is while i enter to page via turbolinks the script doesn't load

how can i load single js on specific page

thanks!

On the contrary to user3631047's answer, you should try to add data-turbolinks-track="true" in your script tag. I was in the similar situation, and doing so fixed the issue. — mc9, CommentedNov 20, 2014 at 5:12

Turbolinks will NOT update head. That's where the advantage is. The loading speed will be much faster without head reloading. That's why your content_for :head won't work.

For your case, the simplest solution is to put the script tag directly on page template.

But what happen if I enter multiple times to the same page? each time the script will be loaded? — Arnold Roa, CommentedJun 29, 2016 at 15:21

Maybe adding data-no-turbolink to your script tag helps you.

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false" data-no-turbolink></script>
