Frequent burns and pitfalls

Stimulus, Turbo Drive, Turbo Frames, and Turbo Streams

Each pitfall below is a working feature built the way it often gets built, paired with the same feature built the way Hotwire wants it. Both versions are real code, with a screencast of the failure and the fix.

Stimulus

Paying for Free Listeners

Manually wiring (and dutifully unwiring) event listeners in connect(), boilerplate that data-action descriptors replace entirely.

Turbo Drive

Turbo Frames

Turbo Streams
