Turbolinks load event not working on with page refresh
With help from uzaif's comment, the following worked
ready = ->
if $('body').attr('data-loaded') == 'T'
return
# code goes here
$('body').attr('data-loaded','T')
$(document).ready(ready)
$(document).on('turbolinks:load', ready)
The $('body').attr('data-loaded')
lines are to prevent the code loading twice.
This approach is using event delegation, as recommended by the turbolinks instructions. It is not clear why it is still necessary to use the $(document).ready(ready)
as the turbolink:load
is meant to cover this.
