# Gon gem — get your Rails variables in your js If you need to send some data to your js files and you don't want to do this with long way trough views and parsing - use this force! ## Usage `app/views/layouts/application.html.erb` ``` erb some title <%= include_gon %> ... ``` In action of your controller you put something like this: ``` ruby @your_variable = 123 Gon.your_variable = @your_variable Gon.your_other_variable = 345 + @your_variable ``` In javascript file for view of this action write call to your variable: ``` js alert(Gon.your_variable) alert(Gon.your_other_variable) ``` ## Installation Puts this line into `Gemfile` then run `$ bundle`: ``` ruby gem 'gon', '0.2.0' ``` Or if you are old-school Rails 2 developer put this into `config/environment.rb` and run `$ rake gems:install`: ``` ruby config.gem 'gon', :version => '0.2.0' ``` Or manually install gon gem: `$ gem install gon` ## Contributors * @gazay Special thanks to @brainopia, @kossnocorp and @ai. ## License The MIT License Copyright (c) 2011 gazay Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
