Recommend approach for adding javascript from Ruby On Rails Gem

I'm working on a Gem that adds extra functionality to ActiveRecords. During installation, someone has to add the following to their form's erb file to get extra form elements provided by my gem:

<%= render "forms/my_gem", form: f %>

What is the best way to handle adding javascript inside my view file? I hate to have this javascript be used on every page, so I was wondering if the best approach is to add inline javascript. If you know of a gem that does this, can you please share.
