.js files fallback on .html if view is missing
Reported by Neeraj Singh | November 28th, 2010 @ 02:45 AM | in 3.x
Notice that in the below given case I do NOT have index.js.erb.
def index
@users = User.all
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render }
end
end
#views
index.html.erb (present)
index.js.erb (not present)
Now if I request http://localhost:3000/users.js then I do not get template missing error. Rather I get index.html.erb file. And that is because of this code https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_vi...
Any particular reason why the code is the way it is. There is a corresponding test also for that line of code.

This is a backward compatibility schema because some people were used to return a full html page for xhr? or js? requests. I am glad you are looking at this and getting more and more familiar with the code. :)
