Last week I upgraded to Rails 5 which is using Turbolinks 5.0. I used the following script to load the Facebook like button with Turbolinks 3.0:
The reasons for this is because some of the events was renamed in Turbolinks 5
and its not compatible with Turbolinks 3
. my suggestion is try creating a file under javascripts/
folder called compatibility.coffee
compatibility.coffee
{defer, dispatch} = Turbolinks
handleEvent = (eventName, handler) ->
document.addEventListener(eventName, handler, false)
translateEvent = ({from, to}) ->
handler = (event) ->
event = dispatch(to, target: event.target, cancelable: event.cancelable, data: event.data)
event.preventDefault() if event.defaultPrevented
handleEvent(from, handler)
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:click", to: "page:before-change"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:request-start", to: "page:fetch"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:request-end", to: "page:receive"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:before-cache", to: "page:before-unload"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:render", to: "page:update"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:load", to: "page:change"
translateEvent from: "turbolinks:load", to: "page:update"
loaded = false
handleEvent "DOMContentLoaded", ->
defer ->
loaded = true
handleEvent "turbolinks:load", ->
if loaded
dispatch("page:load")
jQuery?(document).on "ajaxSuccess", (event, xhr, settings) ->
if jQuery.trim(xhr.responseText).length > 0
dispatch("page:update")
If you prefer to use native Turbolinks 5 events, you can add this script to your Rails assets:
// FacebookSDK
// https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin/
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); // Replace 'facebook-jssdk' with your page id.
// Compatibility with Turbolinks 5
(function($) {
var fbRoot;
function saveFacebookRoot() {
if ($('#fb-root').length) {
fbRoot = $('#fb-root').detach();
}
};
function restoreFacebookRoot() {
if (fbRoot != null) {
if ($('#fb-root').length) {
$('#fb-root').replaceWith(fbRoot);
} else {
$('body').append(fbRoot);
}
}
if (typeof FB !== "undefined" && FB !== null) { // Instance of FacebookSDK
FB.XFBML.parse();
}
};
document.addEventListener('turbolinks:request-start', saveFacebookRoot)
document.addEventListener('turbolinks:load', restoreFacebookRoot)
}(jQuery));

Here is a way to integrate Turbolinks 5 with Facebook SDK.
In your layout template:
// /source/layouts/layout.erb
<body class="<%= page_classes %>">
<%= yield %>
<div id='permanent' data-turbolinks-permanent></div>
</body>
Then in your javascript using jQuery here:
function FBInit() {
FB.init({
appId : 'YOUR_KEY',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.8'
});
$('#permanent').append( $('#fb-root').detach() );
};
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getScript( "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8", FBInit);
});
$(document).on('turbolinks:load', function(event){
if (typeof FB !== "undefined" && FB !== null) {
FB.XFBML.parse();
}
});
$(document).on("turbolinks:before-cache", function() {
$('[data-turbolinks-no-cache]').remove();
});
Then use any Facebook plugins using the data-turbolinks-no-cache attribute like this:
<div data-turbolinks-no-cache
class="fb-like"
data-href="#"
data-layout="standard"
data-action="like"
data-size="small"
data-show-faces="true"
data-share="true"></div>
Here is the gist and here is a blog post explaining how it works
