How to do an Ajax GET request to get data from rails and pass it to javascript(google maps)?

Question

I have a model Locations with two columns latitude and longitude. I want to find a way where I can get the list of locations and pass them to google maps using Ajax and java

Answer 1

Oh I was able to find my way to get the list of locations. The controller and view are left untouched.

I added the following ajax in map.js which did the work for me.

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        dataType: "json",
        url: "/locations",
        success: function(data){}
    }); 

Now data can be passed to the marker object in google maps.
