rails-hotwire

What problem does it solve?

Hotwire simplifies building interactive, responsive Rails user interfaces by minimizing custom JavaScript and replacing full page reloads with server-driven updates, saving development time and reducing client-side complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Turbo Drive: Faster navigation by converting link clicks and form submissions into AJAX-style partial updates.
• Turbo Frames: Scope navigation and form submission to independent page regions for modular UI components like modals and inline editors.
• Turbo Streams: Push real-time changes to multiple parts of the page using server broadcasts for feeds, notifications, and collaborative interfaces.
• Stimulus: Add targeted JavaScript behavior with small controllers for clipboard actions, autosave, toggles, and form enhancements.
• Use Case: Convert a classic Rails scaffold into a responsive interface with lazy-loaded frames, inline editing, and broadcasted updates for live lists.

Quick Start
