On my instagram clone I used foundation for the styling and created a topbar element with a links to the index page, logon, and sign up. | |
There was a strange issue that If I clicked on any of the links on the page the page would reload with the top | |
part of the page being under the topbar. Also I would get rails JS errors if my like link (which uses JS) was clicked. | |
The strange thing however was that I refresh the page or go to the url directly I would not have an issue. | |
After googling around I discovered the issue was caused by Turbo links. | |
From what I understand Turbo links tries to make your website act like a single page app however this messes around | |
with JQuery as it loads the page in a differen way froma normal refresh so JQuery $(document).ready does not get called. | |
This stopped my JS from working and Foundation also has it's own JS/Jquery for making things look nice etc. | |

To resolve my Javascript likes.js and application.js I had to change the function so that document would be ready on ready and page:load | |
var ready = function() { | |
//code that does the stuff here | |
}; | |
$(document).ready(ready); | |
$(document).on('page:load', ready); |
