I have a script that I only want to run the first time the user goes to the new_profile view, so I want to save a cookie and then check if there's the cookie, if not, run the script, if yes don't run the script
I have a controller like this:
def sign_up()
cookies.permanent[:is_first_time] ||= true
redirect_to new_profile
end
And in my view I have:
<% if cookies[:is_first_time] %>
<script>
console.log("script loaded");
</script>
<% end %>
Is there an option to have something like this:
<% if cookies[:is_first_time] = true %>
<script>
console.log("script loaded");
cookies[:is_first_time] == false;
</script>
<% end %>
I am not entirely sure if I understand what you want to do but from the example code I would guess that you actually want to do this:
<% if cookies[:is_first_time] %>
<script>
console.log("script loaded");
<% cookies[:is_first_time] = false %>
</script>
<% end %>
I would suggest different naming
<% unless cookies[:script_was_loaded] %>
<script>
console.log("script loaded");
<% cookies[:script_was_loaded] = true %>
</script>
<% end %>
