@flydotio/stimulus-live-elements

Status: ALPHA

API may change dramatically before release. For now, pin a specific version.

Usage

See gist or run the following commang to get started:

bin/importmap pin @flydotio/[email protected]
echo 'export { default } from  "@flydotio/stimulus-live-elements"' > \
  app/javascript/controllers/live_elements_controller.js

Add data-controller="live-elements" to your containing HTML element. For example, if you are using a Rails form:

<%= form_with data: {controller: "live-elements"} do |form| %>

Within that containing element, you can associate DOM events with Rails actions by adding data-action attributes. For example, to cause a button clike to invoke a demo#click controller action on the server, do something like the following:

<%= form.button "blue", name: 'color',
  data: {action: {click: demo_click_path}}
%>

In your server, produce a turbostream response. An example of a response that replaces a header:

respond_to do |format|
  format.turbo_stream {
    render turbo_stream: turbo_stream.replace('header',
      render_to_string(partial: 'header', locals: {color: color}))
  }
end
