Link_to as turbo_stream format

1

Is it possible to make request get as turbo_stream format?

2

Yes, if you use it in conjunction with a turbo-frame.

See:

delegate turbo-frame only works for this turbo-frame, what if I want update two differents turbo-frames with one get link?

I’m not sure I understand

when I am doing submit with post method then in view.turbo_stream.erb I can update one or more independent turbo frames, when I am doing link_to as get method then I can update only frame where link was clicked or delegated turbo frame using turbo-frame="delegated"

Yes, you can only update one turbo-frame at a time, but just like a post method the turbo-frame can include as many turbo-streams as you want.

<turbo-frame id="turbo_frame_message_1">

  <turbo-stream action="append" target="messages">
    <template>
      <div id="message_1">
        This div will be appended to the element with the DOM ID "messages".
      </div>
    </template>
  </turbo-stream>

  <turbo-stream action="prepend" target="messages">
    <template>
      <div id="message_2">
        This div will be prepended to the element with the DOM ID "messages".
      </div>
    </template>
  </turbo-stream>

  <turbo-stream action="replace" target="left-menu">
    <template>
      <turbo-frame id="left-menu">
        This div will replace the existing element with the DOM ID "left-menu".
      </div>
    </template>
  </turbo-stream>

</turbo-frame>

You can do it. Instead of just pass the method: :get to the link_to helper. it will make it to be processed as a turbo_stream request.

link_to url, method: :get

@tleish what do you think of this approach? Because it’s a RailsUJS functionality with data-action, is it backward compatible when UJS is completely removed?

@rockwell - Yes, if using UJS, then you can use data-action as another workaround.
