Turn off Rails' Layouts for AJAX Requests

December 20th, 2006

Here’s a quick snippet for your ApplicationController:

layout proc{ |c| c.request.xhr? ? false : "application" }

HTTP requests using get and post will be processed normally, but AJAX requests will be rendered with no layout. This saves you from having to put render :layout => false every time you do an AJAX request.
