From a Rails controller, is there a way to determine if the request was from a remote link or form submission?
I'd like to use a redirect to the 'show' url in the case that a record is created without remote, and simply display the 'show' template in the case that it's a remote call.
Thanks.
In your controller you can test it with #xhr? method on the request:
if request.xhr?
# remote
else
# standard
end
