Ruby on Rails 4 javascript not executed

Question

I have a custom js file in app/assets/javascripts. This is the js file:

//app/assets/javascripts/contacts.js
//$(document).ready(functi         


        

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() { } # Not working with turbo-links

From

Turbolinks overrides the normal page loading process, the event that this relies on will not be fired. If you have code that looks like this, you must change your code to do this instead:

$(document).on('ready page:load', function () {
  // you code here
});

Another question

Answer 2

With Turbolinks version 5 (starting from Rails 5) you need to use:

$(document).on("turbolinks:load", function () {
  // YOUR CODE
});
