Where to put view-specific javascript files in an ASP.NET MVC application?

One way of achieving this is to supply your own ActionInvoker. Using the code included below, you can add to your controller's constructor:

ActionInvoker = new JavaScriptActionInvoker();

Now, whenever you place a .js file next to your view:

You can access it directly:

http://yourdomain.com/YourController/Index.js

Below is the source:

namespace JavaScriptViews {
    public class JavaScriptActionDescriptor : ActionDescriptor
    {
        private string actionName;
        private ControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor;

        public JavaScriptActionDescriptor(string actionName, ControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor)
        {
            this.actionName = actionName;
            this.controllerDescriptor = controllerDescriptor;
        }

        public override object Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary<string, object> parameters)
        {
            return new ViewResult();
        }

        public override ParameterDescriptor[] GetParameters()
        {
            return new ParameterDescriptor[0];
        }

        public override string ActionName
        {
            get { return actionName; }
        }

        public override ControllerDescriptor ControllerDescriptor
        {
            get { return controllerDescriptor; }
        }
    }

    public class JavaScriptActionInvoker : ControllerActionInvoker
    {
        protected override ActionDescriptor FindAction(ControllerContext controllerContext, ControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor, string actionName)
        {
            var action = base.FindAction(controllerContext, controllerDescriptor, actionName);
            if (action != null)
            {
                return action;
            } 

            if (actionName.EndsWith(".js"))
