Using underscore.js with rails 3

I've been looking at underscore.js and wanted to add it to my rails project. I'm already using jQuery. Is there a best practice when it comes to using these two libraries together? Also, how do you deal with jQuery objects with underscore? Do you use jquery to select a bunch of elements, then run them through underscore?

I suggest you to use it without underscore-rails gem. It is very useless.

It produce nothing but new dependency for the project.

There is no reason to scare using the underscore.js directly.

You can either manually include the underscore js file in your assets, or you can use this gem:

Underscore works well with Javascript collections and objects of any kind, so the functions do work well with jQuery objects.
