Rack-pjax stillmaintained

Rack-pjax is middleware that lets you serve 'chrome-less' pages in respond to pjax-requests.

It does this by simply filtering the generated page; only the title and inner-html of the pjax-container are sent to the client.

While this won't save you any time rendering the page, it gives you more flexibility where or how to define the pjax-container. Ryan Bates featured rack-pjax on Railscasts and explains how this gem compares to pjax_rails.

Installation

Check out the Railscast notes how to integrate rack-pjax in your Rails 3.1 application.

The more generic installation comes down to:

I. Add the gem to your Gemfile

    # Gemfile
    gem "rack-pjax"

II. Include rack-pjax as middleware to your application(-stack)

    # config.ru
    require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment',  __FILE__)
    use Rack::Pjax
    run RackApp::Application

III. Install jquery-pjax. Make sure to add the 'data-pjax-container'-attribute to the container.

    <head>
      ...
      <script src="/javascripts/jquery.js"></script>
      <script src="/javascripts/jquery.pjax.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function(){
          $('a:not([data-remote]):not([data-behavior]):not([data-skip-pjax])').pjax('[data-pjax-container]')
        })
      </script>
      ...
    </head>
    <body>
      <div data-pjax-container>
        ...
      </div>
    </body>

IV. Fire up your pushState-enabled browser and enjoy!
