I have a project and want to add Hotwire Turbo (Turbo Frames) but using socket is not an option.
Is that possible ? GitHub - turbolinks/turbolinks: Turbolinks makes navigating your web application faster was very nice solution.
Turbo Frames are more or less iframes that you can update without affecting the rest of the page. They don’t need sockets for anything – that’s one of their banner features. You may be confusing them with TurboStreams, which can optionally travel over sockets, depending on how you design your site. In fact, most of the HotWire stack can get along really well without using Websockets for transport. The only time you need those is if you want the page that the visitor is looking at to change without any interaction from them. (For example, they are in a chat context, the other party in the chat updates with a new message, and the visitor’s browser updates in real-time with the new message content.) But for anything that relies on a click, you can update part of the page without affecting the rest of it, using only the TurboFrame mechanism.
