ASP.NET MVC - Where do you put your .js files if you dont want to store them in /Scripts?
asp.net-mvc, controller, javascript, resources, routes
Solution
SOLVED
After having found and tested a number of posts (most conclusive post here) that I couldnt get to work, the following solves the puzzle:
In the `Global.asax`, add the following code to the `RegisterRoutes` method:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{file}.js");
There is a great post here that describes this and additional activity here
Problem
I have a number of .js files that I would like to be stored in the same directories as their views (they're specific to a view - its simply to keep the javascript separate from the view's HTML) However, adding them to the `/Views/ControllerName/` directory wont work because when a request is made to the webserver for the .js file: ``` <script type="text/javascript" src="/Views/ControllerName/myscript.js"></script> ``` It would essentially be directed at the 'Views' controller which obviously doesnt exist. Update From what I have read, adding the following IgnoreRoute in the global.asax.cs RegisterRoutes method should permit access to any requested .js file: ``` routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.js/{*pathInfo}"); ``` However, I cant seem to get it to work?
