Dynamically add active class to bootstrap li in Rails
in the bootstrap navigation bar. You can get the effect of a button being clicked by adding the class active . Naturally, I want to use this on my pages. For example if I'm on the about us page I want the about us button clicked. What is the best way to go about this? I was going to go to each page and at the bottom have a jQuery function add the class active to it. Is there a better way? Read about current_page? here You can add a method for handle logic with current_page? , example a method : module ApplicationHelper def active_class(link_path) current_page?(link_path) ? "active" : "" end
