Am I the only one that would love to see Dean do a Rails 7 version of a wordpress competitor or something like permissions, roles, content. Love the content

[@Deanin]

No I'm sure you're not the only one, so I'll add it to the list! 😀

[@stoianstoianov9481]

Nice tutorial! How can we authorize access to private messages just for two users and restrict third one to view the room ?

[@ShimolKhan-y7d]

How can we reset the room input form field and message input form field after submission? Tried several times, but failing.

[@rohitkamalapur1452]

How to detect if current user is actual current_user for edit/delete feature with broadcast?

[@Deanin]

If you're broadcasting from the controller, it only should be fine without a check. If the broadcast happens in the model, I think the officially recommended choices are either: Do a client side check with JavaScript to hide the buttons if you aren't the current user or an admin or Create a channel on your index page that has a turbo_stream_from "#{current_user.id}" and then in your model you'll be able to broadcast to that channel and only that user will get it. So that channel would be specifically the edit and delete buttons that are then added to the messages with a partial. You'd then have to make sure that the other channel gets messages without the edit and delete button, so that everyone gets the messages once. It sucks because as I'm sure you've noticed, turbo broadcasts don't let you check who the current user is. Drives me nuts lol

[@DevBishwasBh]

@@Deanin I just create a input field (with current_user.id let's say: input_current_user)specifically inside the comment section and whenever someone comments, and the stuff gets broadcast, and stimulus js check the comment.user value with the input_current_user, and returns the stuff. I just wanna confirm if hiding delete button with js is a secure way to do it?

[@Deanin]

Yeah it's secure as long as you do a check in your controller to make sure the user has permissions. So inside or before the delete action, check to make sure the message.user == current_user That way if they do manage to send the right info to the backend or unhide anything you've hidden, your backend still won't do anything.
