Rails 4: how to use $(document).ready() with turbo-links

I just learned of another option for solving this problem. If you load the jquery-turbolinks gem it will bind the Rails Turbolinks events to the document.ready events so you can write your jQuery in the usual way. You just add jquery.turbolinks right after jquery in the js manifest file (by default: application.js).

Recently I found the most clean and easy to understand way of dealing with it:

$(document).on 'ready page:load', ->
  # Actions to do

OR

$(document).on('ready page:load', function () {
  // Actions to do
});

EDIT
If you have delegated events bound to the document, make sure you attach them outside of the ready function, otherwise they will get rebound on every page:load event (causing the same functions to be run multiple times). For example, if you have any calls like this:

$(document).on 'ready page:load', ->
  ...
  $(document).on 'click', '.button', ->
    ...
  ...

Take them out of the ready function, like this:

$(document).on 'ready page:load', ->
  ...
  ...

$(document).on 'click', '.button', ->
  ...

Delegated events bound to the document do not need to be bound on the ready event.

Here's what I do... CoffeeScript:

ready = ->

  ...your coffeescript goes here...

$(document).ready(ready)
$(document).on('page:load', ready)

last line listens for page load which is what turbo links will trigger.

Edit...adding Javascript version (per request):

var ready;
ready = function() {

  ...your javascript goes here...

};

$(document).ready(ready);
$(document).on('page:load', ready);

Edit 2...For Rails 5 (Turbolinks 5) page:load becomes turbolinks:load and will be even fired on initial load. So we can just do the following:

$(document).on('turbolinks:load', function() {

  ...your javascript goes here...

});
