Instance Method Details

#turbo_stream ⇒ Object

Returns a new Turbo::Streams::TagBuilder object that accepts stream actions and renders them as the template tags needed to send across the wire. This object is automatically yielded to turbo_stream.erb templates.

When responding to HTTP requests, controllers can declare ‘turbo_stream` format response templates in that same style as `html` and `json` response formats. For example, consider a `MessagesController` that responds to both `text/html` and `text/vnd.turbo-stream.html` requests along with a `.turbo_stream.erb` action template:

def create
  @message = Message.create!(params.require(:message).permit(:content))
  respond_to do |format|
    format.turbo_stream
    format.html { redirect_to messages_url }
  end
end

<%# app/views/messages/create.turbo_stream.erb %>
<%= turbo_stream.append "messages", @message %>

<%= turbo_stream.replace "new_message" do %>
  <%= render partial: "new_message", locals: { room: @room } %>
<% end %>

When a ‘app/views/messages/create.turbo_stream.erb` template exists, the `MessagesController#create` will respond to `text/vnd.turbo-stream.html` requests by rendering the `messages/create.turbo_stream.erb` view template and transmitting the response

#turbo_stream_from(*streamables, **attributes) ⇒ Object

Used in the view to create a subscription to a stream identified by the streamables running over the Turbo::StreamsChannel. The stream name being generated is safe to embed in the HTML sent to a user without fear of tampering, as it is signed using Turbo.signed_stream_verifier. Example:

# app/views/entries/index.html.erb
<%= turbo_stream_from Current.account, :entries %>
<div id="entries">New entries will be appended to this target</div>

The example above will process all turbo streams sent to a stream name like account:5:entries (when Current.account.id = 5). Updates to this stream can be sent like entry.broadcast_append_to entry.account, :entries, target: "entries".

Custom channel class name can be passed using :channel option (either as a String or a class name):

<%= turbo_stream_from "room", channel: RoomChannel %>

It is also possible to pass additional parameters to the channel by passing them through ‘data` attributes:

<%= turbo_stream_from "room", channel: RoomChannel, data: {room_name: "room #1"} %>

Raises an ArgumentError if all streamables are blank

<%= turbo_stream_from("") %> # => ArgumentError: streamables can't be blank
<%= turbo_stream_from("", nil) %> # => ArgumentError: streamables can't be blank

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
