Digging into View Transitions with Turbo 8 and Rails

[@mikopiko]

View Transitions is still Chrome only but interesting video!

[@wbjxfkwsklejfde34d]

is it possible to set the direction between pages somehow? for eg, get it to slide forward going to edit, and back when cancel?

[@Webcrunch]

There are different data attributes added with Turbo you can target with CSS and do this. It's a little more involved but possible!

@@Webcrunch ive got css targeting the direction when turbo decides its back (when you click the browser back button basicly) but i cant TELL it to go back. i was hoping i could for eg add a data attribute to a back button on the edit screen to make the turbo_visit_direction be back

Hi! Is it works with Bootstrap or with Tailwind only?

[@Webcrunch]

No framework required actually! Just plain old CSS should do it. 👍

I wonder if instead of turbo we should use HTMX. (we = rails community) Any opinion?

[@Webcrunch]

I'd look at stimulus if you haven't. It's very similar to HTMX and aspects of turbo. I suppose it depends if you're site is super simple/static versus something more full stack like Rails.
