Why is the ajax request not being executed?

Question

JavaScript

Hello Habr!
There is a link

= link_to "Редактировать", id: "load_formForItem", data: {ajax_path: :getFormForEditItems}

there is a code that should handle the event

$ ->
  $('#load_formForItem').click ->
    projects_path = $('#load_formForItem').data('ajax-path')
    $.ajax projects_path,
      type: 'POST'
      dataType: 'script'

but the problem is that nothing happens. The console is silent. What could be the problem?

Answer 1

= link_to "Редактировать", '#', id: "load_formForItem", data: {ajax_path: :getFormForEditItems}

Notice I've inserted a second argument in link_to. Otherwise, id will be used not as an id, but as an address.

Answer 2

You, apparently, have a typo: you pass ajax_path to the helper, in JS you use ajax-path
