ReactOnRails is not defined when including application.js at bottom of body about react_on_rails

[justin808]

@hisapy application.js should be included in the head of the document. Any reason you're placing it in the body?

Feel free to re-open this ticket if you're sure that there's a case for putting application.js in the body.

Actually, it seems no there is need anymore to move it out from the head.

@justin808 Yahoo recommends loading scripts at the bottom of the page to avoid blocking parallel downloads. How do you feel about attaching the components once the JS has loaded?

[justin808]

@rupurt we did a little research and concluded that the Yahoo advice is no longer worthwhile due to typical caching of the bundled JS file as well as the use of turbolinks. That being said, if you can create a simple demo of a performance gain, we'd be very happy to change the way we're organizing the JS code.
