rails link_to with remote => true and jquery on click

I have simple question. I use rails link_to like this:

link_to 'sometxt', some_path(item), :class=>'fancybox button-click', :remote => true

and my question - is it right, to put jQuery on click event for this link ? 

$('.button-click').on('click',function(){
    //some action
});

or it isn't good solution to have link_to with remote and jQuery on click event for one link?

What I want is to append loading gif when user click on link and fancybox showLoading doesn't work good for me so I'm trying other way to put preloader.

Good question!!

I'm not sure about overriding the click event (I'm sure it will be fine to bind twice, but I've not got any references)

Ajax

In regards to calling a preloader, you'll want to use one of the ajax hooks that Rails UJS provides:

#app/assets/javascripts/application.js
$(".button_click").on("ajax:beforeSend", function(){
    // preloader load
}).on("ajax:complete", function(){
    //preloader hide
});

enter image description here

This will be what you need
