Is it possible to get the current controller name and action name with the Javascript API or using ruby in an ERB?

Could you, pls, describe your scenario where it is required.

I'm trying to use Google Analytics and record "Screen Views". I know I can manually set a variable in all my actions and pass it to the erb and Google Analytics code. However, I'm trying to avoid duplicating work if it is already available. For example, in Rails, there is controller.action_name for example, or event controller_name and action_name available in .erb.

In Javascript, you can just use document.location, and parse-out the parts of the path with a regex.
In Ruby, the parts are already broken-out for you in @request, which you can use in your controller or in ERBs as you see fit.
@request['request-uri']
@request['query']
@request['action']
@request['model']
I typically add a json-encoded data- attribute in layout.erb with these parts as a convenience. If you use jQuery, jQuery will parse the JSON and it's available (for example) in $('body').data('action') (if you placed it on body).
