If Not React, Then What?
All of what I'm talking about is doable through libraries today (or you can write it yourself). But making things available through DOM APIs create a new baseline where the very same tools are made available for anyone, no matter the framework (think: document.querySelector APIs).
Regarding patch, morphdom explains very well the difference between replacing and patching the DOM [1]:
> Replacing an entire DOM tree is fast but loses internal state (e.g., scroll positions, input carets, CSS transitions). Instead, we aim to transform the existing DOM tree to match the new one, minimizing changes and preserving state.

The Ultimate Search for Rails - Episode 1
And sure enough, it works! So what's going on here? Well, clicking the link invokes our reflex, which gets executed right before our current controller action runs again. It allows us to execute any kind of server-side logic, as well as play with the DOM in various ways, but with ruby code. Then, the DOM gets morphed over the wire.

Build a JS Framework with 80 lines of Javascript
It's super simple actually. And that is in large part to (Morphdom)[https://github.com/patrick-steele-idem/morphdom] which I'm using to compare the output of render() to what is already on the DOM. Morphdom will patch the differences.

Using hotwired/turbo but patch the DOM vs Replacing
I'm using morphdom to patch our DOM. Its a very simple library that compares two DOM elements and updates only the differences. It is extremely performant and does not even use a Virtual DOM, just the DOM you already have!

ssceng demo: Hacker News Client
It tries to morph into existing DOM (with https://github.com/patrick-steele-idem/morphdom). In case of fail, there is fallback to HTML replacement with outerHTML. All DOM operations after action occurs on component level, not the whole page.

Building a Live Search Experience with StimulusReflex and Ruby on Rails
Today, we’re going to build a live search experience once more. This time with StimulusReflex, a “new way to craft modern, reactive web interface with Ruby on Rails”. StimulusReflex relies on WebSockets to pass events from the browser to Rails, and back again, and uses morphdom to make efficient updates on the client-side.

Displaying Real-Time Data in Your Web Application Without Hassle: IHP Auto Refresh ✨
Whenever the JavaScript on the browser-side receives new HTML, it will update the current page using a DOM-diff approach (using morphdom). So only DOM nodes that have actually changed between the initial page load and the updated HTML will be updated.
