Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

I usually have the following in the layout file:

<head>
  <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <!-- For example -->
  <%= @extra_head_content %>
</head>

And then in the views:

<% (@extra_head_content ||= "") += capture do %>
  <%= other_content %>
<% end %>

See the API documentation for #capture

Answer 2

+21 A:

I would use content_for.

For instance, in the layout

<head>
<title>Merry Christmas!</title>
<%= yield(:head) %->
</head>

And in a view

<%- content_for(:head) do -%>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults -%>
<%- end -%>

Answer 3

+2 A:

I feel there's nothing wrong including all yr defaults since they can then be cached on user's browser.

what about if you have includes that are only applicable to the admin part of a website?
