Getting a little fed up with Prototype in Ruby on Rails. What are you all using?

garbowza• 19 years ago

YUI's worked pretty well for me. The documentation is decent, and the code seems to have good support from Yahoo.

dshah• 19 years ago

We're using YUI too. Has worked well for us so far.

Prototype plus YUI, looking at jQuery

veritas• 19 years ago

A vote for MooTools, although jQuery is very nice as well.

nextmoveone• 19 years ago

MooTools is the truth.

tdupree• 18 years ago

MooTools is a fantastic library, with very solid motion tweening and decent documentation/examples. jQuery is also a very solid library.

jquery... hands down

shouldn't the title read "whats your favorite ruby Javascript framework?"

I was hoping for info on dojo, etc....

andrewfong• 19 years ago

I'm not sure I understand. Why can't you use Dojo with Ruby on Rails? You lose the built-in ruby wrapper functions, but they're not required.

Big fan of Mochikit. As a python programmer it's got some good pythonic interfaces but it doesn't trample on the elegance of Javascript.

daltonlp• 19 years ago

Second that. Mochikit has been rock-solid and a breeze to use.

JQuery, but I haven't tried a big variety. Right now, I'm using Prototype because that's what Weblocks uses by default.

me too

christefano• 19 years ago

jQuery.

jamesbritt• 19 years ago

JQuery, plus occasional YUI

jm3• 19 years ago

prototype is fairly annoying. i use it daily but prefer moo and jquery.

woid• 19 years ago

prototype + ExtJS

tmm1• 19 years ago

Prototype 1.6 has some nice new features, and mootools is cool, but jQuery definitely wins.

aston• 18 years ago

Just curious, what sucks about Prototype? It basically fixes everything that's broken with Javascript, which is about all I want my framework to do.
