Adding page-specific Javascript to each view in CakePHP

Question

In an attempt to keep my scripts maintainable, I\'m going to move each into their own file, organised by controller and action:

// scripts which only apply t         


        

Answer 1

There's a nuts and bolts of CakePHP blog post on Convention over Configuration – what's the big deal? - which uses a helper for specifying Javascript files:

Javascript->link($this->_jqueryPath . '/' .
                                    $this->_pageScriptPath .'/' .
                                    $this->params['controller'] . '_' .
                                    $this->params['action'], false);
    }

}

?>

And then you just have $jsManager->myJs(); in your view.
