• Real Time Page Updates with Rails and Hotwire - Turbo Broadcasts
  1 project | dev.to | 23 Mar 2025

  Turbo Broadcast allows us to broadcast messages via Websockets to multiple clients in real-time and which is what we will be using in this example. This is the source code for Turbo Broadcast and its worth taking a look at because it provides some example usages in the inline comments https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/blob/main/app/models/concerns/turbo/broadcastable.rb

• The Future of Htmx
  28 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jan 2025

  I do think "use HTMX" is a tough sell for a 800 employee company, just because it doesn't really solve issues on it's own. (Imagining the pitch is "add HTMX to an existing project") Going all-in on hypermedia definitely means the service that serves your application needs to more than just a JSON parrot. Templating HTML and sending the right chunks back is hard to do if those services aren't built around being hypermedia services.

  I really like turbo-rails [0] (the ruby gem that Rails 7+ bundles in for turbo support, meaning helpers that make turbo frames/responses a native "thing" rails understands) because it's a complete solution. There's at least some obvious structure to build off of, and I'm not stuck trying to build up my own framework on the BE for my newly simpler FE.

  django-htmx also fits in this case too. I feel like any honest pitch of HTMX should involve some BE solution as well.

• Can't get Rails 7 turbo_stream_from to update view from broadcast
  2 projects | /r/rails | 11 May 2023

  The install notes here link to an issue specific to webpacker. Try that and see if it works?

• Strong reasons to pick htmx, over hotwire?
  1 project | /r/rails | 7 May 2023

  True, in theory it is. A lot of it is coded in libraries like turbo-rails, though. And these are Rails-specific. But I've seen it being used in some Laravel projects, also I used it with Hanami.

• Rails 7 - Turbo Frame and Turbo Stream

  Check out https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/blob/main/app/models/turbo/streams/tag_builder.rb

• Use turbo_streams to update the client in real time from inside a loop?
  1 project | /r/rails | 7 Apr 2023

  So apart from the pretty obvious question of "why on earth would you want to do this?", I think there's a misunderstanding here of the intended use case of turbo streams. You have a page, and then some state changes on the server and you want to update the page to reflect that. Incrementing a variable doesn't really qualify as a state change, but perhaps a Product changing from "not good" to "good" would be an event worth broadcasting, which you could do using the Broadcastable concern in turbo-rails.

• Using ViewComponents with Turbo
  1 project | /r/rails | 24 Mar 2023

  Not mentioned in the article, but it's nice that turbo-rails recently gained the ability to pass ViewComponent objects directly to turbo stream helpers. https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/pull/433
