Ruby on Rails 0.13 and Script.aculo.us

July 6th, 2005 ramin Leave a comment Go to comments

Looks like Ruby on Rails 0.13 has been released and with this release comes 225+ features and bug fixes. One of the coolest features added to this version of Rails is he addition of the Script.aculo.us Javascript libray.

Script.aculo.us is based on the Prototype javascript library and extends the basic visual effects provided by that library to create some really cool visual effects. Effects like: Appear, Fade, Puff, SlideUp and Down, BlindUp and Down, DropOut, Shake, Pulsate, Squish, Fold, Grow, Shrink and Highlight.

Besides the cool visual effects, Script.aculo.us also provides Drag 'n Drop functionality, dynamic element sorting that saves using Ajax, Google suggest functionality which also uses Ajax and some more that I'm sure I've forgotten about. This thing is simply amazing.
