turbo-rails

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 be 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 [1] also fits in this case too. I feel like any

> I'd be interested in the "how" if you'd consider creating a blog on using Hotwire with Phoenix. Technically it doesn't involve adding or changing even 1 line of code on the back-end to make Turbo Drive and Frames work with any tech stack. It works out of the box by following Turbo's docs and using the HTML tags they mention along with bringing in the Turbo JS library. But for Frames you can optionally do what Rails does and add some server side code that says "hey, if this request is coming from a Turbo Frame only send the partial template as a response instead of the whole layout". That logic for Rails is here: https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/blob/main/app/contro.... It's a nice to have optimization that will reduce your frame's HTML payload size but it still works without doing this. It can be ported to Phoenix or any back-end
