Hey Devs, If you know of a better way to handle this particular issue, please share in the comments below!
If you've been paying attention to Rails edge or following the release of Rails 4, you are no doubt aware of one of the more flashy features: Turbolinks. From the Turbolinks readme: "Turbolinks makes following links in your web application faster. Instead of letting the browser recompile the JavaScript and CSS between each page change, it keeps the current page instance alive and replaces only the body and the title in the head."
