Setup

Add TurboBoost Elements dependencies

# Gemfile
gem "turbo-rails", ">= 1.1", "< 2"
+gem "turbo_boost-elements", "~> VERSION"
# package.json
"dependencies": {
  "@hotwired/turbo-rails": ">=7.2",
+  "@turbo-boost/elements": "^VERSION"
# app/javascript/application.js
import '@hotwired/turbo-rails'
+import '@turbo-boost/elements'

Add TurboBoost to your Rails app

# app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<html>
  <head>
+  <%= turbo_boost.meta_tag %>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Elements

<toggle-trigger> and <toggle-target>

Toggle content via conditional rendering.

This example will re-render the post partial and toggle the form section.

<!-- app/views/posts/_post.html.erb -->
<%= tag.div id: dom_id(post) do %>
  <!-- content -->

  <%= toggle_trigger_tag renders: current_partial_path, morphs: dom_id(post),
    controls: dom_id(post, :form), locals: local_assigns, assigns: { post: @post } do %>
    <% if toggle_target_collapsed?  dom_id(post, :form) %>
      <%= link_to "Edit Post Inline", request.path %>
    <% else %>
      <%= link_to "Cancel Editing Post", request.path %>
    <% end %>
  <% end %>

  <%= toggle_target_tag dom_id(post, :form) do %>
    <%= render "posts/form", post: post %>
  <% end %>

  <!-- content -->
<% end %>

Tag Helpers

  • toggle_trigger_tag

    • renders - REQUIRED, the partial path to render
    • morphs - REQUIRED, dom_id of the partial's outermost containing element
    • controls - REQUIRED, dom_id of the toggle target
    • assigns - {}, assigns required to render the partial (i.e. instance variables)
    • locals - {}, local_assigns required to render the parital
    • collapse_selector - nil, CSS selector for other matching targets to collapse when the target is expanded
    • focus_selector - nil, CSS selector for the element to focus when the target is expanded
    • method - :toggle, method to inovke (:show, :hide, :toggle)
    • disabled - false, disable the trigger
    • remember - false, remember ephemeral UI state between requests
    • kwargs - generic support for additional element attributes like class etc.
    • &block - a Ruby block that emits this trigger's content
  • toggle_target_tag

    • id - REQUIRED, the dom_id for the element
    • collapse_on - [], list of events that will collapse this target
    • collapse_selector - nil, CSS selector for other matching targets to collapse when this target is expanded
    • expanded - false, override to force expansion
    • focus_selector - nil, CSS selector for the element to focus when this target is expanded
    • kwargs - generic support for additional element attributes like class etc.
    • &block - a Ruby block that emits this target's content

If a named keyword argument is shared by both the trigger and target, the trigger value will take precendence because multiple triggers might control the same target.

DevTools

TurboBoost ships with client/browser based devtools designed to improve the developer experience. You can enable the devtools with JavaScript like so.
