Rails 3.1.3: Evaluate ruby code before JavaScript

Question

I have controller say Home_controller providing @max = 10 @min=4. And then I later used these two values in my Home.js.erb file rests in /asset/javascript.

values= [<%=@max%>,<%=@min%>]

But it doesn't seem to be working, because when I look at the resultant javascript file from firebug, wherever I have @max or @min, they just show up as blank.

What's going on here? I am new to rails asset pipeline, so I may have some misunderstanding here.

Rails passes the instance variables from Controller to View. So, you want to place the home.js.erb in the views folder and not in the assets.
