Put javascript directly in views instead of assets/javascript in Rails?

Question

When we generate a model, such as Fruit, it auto generates assets/javascripts/fruits.js

However, say if we have javascript callbacks for only a paragraph element in views/fruits/show.html, should it be placed directly in show.html? Is it more conventional or faster to put it in fruits.js?

You can use content_for to achieve it.

<%# views/layouts/application.html.erb %>
<head>
  <title>My Website</title>
  <%= yield :script %>
</head>

<%# views/fruits/show.html %>
<% content_for :script do %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag :fruits %>
<% end %>
