Ruby on Rails

In your link_to declaration, add remote: true in the options, and in your controller, add a handler for format.js alongside the format.html in the respond_to block. In that handler's block, tell it what to do. The simplest thing is to render a follow.js.erb, which can contain any JavaScript you like to note to the user that the follow event happened. Change the text of the button to "Following" for example. Add and remove a CSS class to "flash" the button or whatever else makes sense to your users.
