JavaScript and jQuery only needed for certain pages

I have a C#, MVC website, I want to have all JavaScript/jQuery needed for the site to be contained in one file, but some of the JavaScript/jQuery is only needed on certain pages.

Example, Currently in the JavaScript file, I have code like the following -

$(document).ready(function () {

    $('#myId').click(function () {
        doCoolStuff();
    });

});

The above statement is executed on every page, but it is only needed on one. What is the best way to have JavaScript/jQuery run only on the page (or pages) that need it?

You can use Sections to include items when they are necessary, and make it unrequired (but included when it's present).

_Layout.cshtml

@* ... *@
@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
@* ... *@

SomeView.cshtml

@* ... *@
@section Scripts
{
    @* direct inclusion *@
    <script>
        $(function(){
            // your code here
        });
    </script>

    @* or file reference *@
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Content/alternate.script.js")"></script>
}
@* ... *@
