A common UI is a list on the left and a details panel (drawer) on the right. With Turbo Frames, each list item link can target a details frame. Clicking an item swaps the drawer content while leaving the list intact. The server still renders HTML, so

When cache structures change, you want to invalidate safely without flushing the world. Use a namespace version key (per feature) and incorporate it into cache keys.

For batch operations, Stimulus can manage the UI state (select all, indeterminate checkbox) while Turbo submits a regular form. This keeps the server in charge of authorization and the UI simple.

When downstream systems degrade, jobs pile up and amplify outages. Add a simple “queue depth guard” so non-critical jobs skip or reschedule instead of making the backlog worse.

When forms live inside a Turbo Frame (modal or inline edit), validation needs to feel immediate without a full-page refresh. I render the form inside a frame with an ID like post_form. On submit, create/update returns status: :unprocessable_entity and

When replacing DOM chunks, morphing reduces flicker and preserves focus/selection. If you enable morphing, prefer server-rendered HTML that’s stable and keyed. It’s a subtle but meaningful quality improvement.

Broadcasting is powerful, but it’s also easy to accidentally leak updates if everyone subscribes to a global stream. My default is to scope streams to a tenant boundary (like Current.account) and a resource. That means turbo_stream_from [current_accou

Turbo Drive records visits in browser history. For some interactions (like typing through search results), you don’t want every click to create a new history entry. Turbo supports data-turbo-action='replace' to replace the current history entry instea

I use ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes any time I need request-scoped context without turning my app into a tangle of thread-local globals. In Current, I define the attributes I care about (member, request_id, remote_ip) and I use the resets hook to c

Copy buttons are deceptively tricky across browsers. This Stimulus controller uses the Clipboard API when available, falls back to execCommand, and provides a hook for “Copied!” UI.

Turbo gives you a handful of built-in stream actions (append, replace, remove), but sometimes you want behavior like “replace then highlight”. You can implement this as a custom action: send a turbo-stream with action='highlight' and include a templat

A per-request statement_timeout is a great “seatbelt” for endpoints that can run bad queries when parameters are unexpected. You can set it for a block; Postgres enforces the wall clock limit.
