Broadcasting to nested turbo_frame_tag

5

Hello!

I am indeed returning a stream format.

My comments#create is

 def create
    @comment = @post.comments.build(comments_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @comment.save
        format.turbo_stream
        format.html { redirect_to @post, notice: 'Comment was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @comment }
      else
      [...error handling]
      end
    end
  end

with the partial create.turbo_stream itself being

<% if @comment.errors.present? %>

[...some error handling]

<% else %>
  <%= comment_notice_stream(message: :create, status: 'green') %> # a helper to display a notice

  <%= turbo_stream.replace 'new_comment' do %>
    <%= turbo_frame_tag :new_comment %>
  <% end %>

  <%= turbo_stream.append "#{dom_id(@post)}_comments", partial: 'comment', locals: { comment: @comment } %>

  <%= turbo_stream.replace 'total_comments' do %>
    <%= turbo_frame_tag :total_comments, class: 'mt-2 text-lg text-2xl mt-2 tex-gray-50' do %>
      <%= @post.comments.size %> comments
    <% end %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

When I rename the create.turbo_stream file and/or comment out the format.turbo_stream, and then try creating a comment from a different browser window, the comment gets created but does not show on the page without a reload (which is kind of expected since I removed the turbo_stream) but does not appear on the other browser window either, where I would expect it to be broadcasted. This means that I am probably not broadcasting as I should.

I still get in the console [ActionCable] Broadcasting to [...some string]:comments:.....

Basically what I did is follow this article to get me started with a “spa-like” version of the blog and then tried to tweak it to add some actioncable/broadcasting for the posts/comments.

Thanks again for your help!
