Introduction to Hotwire in Ruby on Rails

[@JuLoc06]

I think you’ve convinced me to take a second around in rails! I started my career off in ruby back in 2011/2012 but left around 2016, but rails 7 is a game changer I don’t think I can ignore any longer. Thanks for the wonderful content. 😊👍🏾

[@mixandgo]

Sure thing. Good luck.

[@chrisbrace6915]

This is honestly some of the clearest use cases and examples I've seen on this topic. When course?

[@mixandgo]

Thank you! I'm currently working on a new Rails course. You can join the waiting list here: mixandgo.com/rails-course

[@InLightFilm]

Thank you. even though I thought I understood this perfectly, your simple explanation made things much much more clear.

[@mixandgo]

Thank you

[@oooo9570]

Thanks so much for sharing - it is awesome to have a 'quick' to the point summary of the behavior of these different aspects of rails, bc each one operates similarly yet slightly different from the next and it's good to know what to put where and in what event to do so!

[@mixandgo]

Happy to help :)

[@cryptosecuritytools]

Just signed up for your course. Looking forward to it!

[@mixandgo]

It's great to have you Glen. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Also make sure to use our community forum for anything you want to discuss with me or other students.

[@The_Penny_Seventeens]

Thank you please continue to makes more videos your explanations are very helpfull...

[@mixandgo]

More to come 🤓

[@diegonoronha5994]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge and I will be following along, as I am in a project that we are carrying out this migration

[@mixandgo]

Let me know if you have questions. I'm always on the lookout for new ideas.

Rails had not only the answer to React, it also had the upper hand because we already had HTMX before React, it was called Intercooler.js, made by the same guy, with the same concept and the guy was a rails developer, the examples of intercooler.js are using Rails.

Good video. I was waiting for the turbo stream version of the previous example updating both turbo frames, to understand it better.

[@mixandgo]

Glad it was helpful! There are a few more videos on the channel all about Hotwire.

[@oskarpavelnyc6324]

Keep it up man!

[@mixandgo]

Thanks! Will do!

[@andrii-nk]

Cool video! Thanks

I'm still learning the pile of puzzle pieces that is web dev but how do you use Elixir liveview with rails?

[@mixandgo]

You don't. Elixir and Ruby are different languages. LiveView is for Elixir/Phoenix what Hotwire is for Ruby on Rails.

[@datguy4104]

@@mixandgo That's what I thought, I think I misunderstood what was said somewhere. Thank you!

[@johnlloyddesape3206]

vscode theme?

[@postwala2667]

Is anyone interested in fixing our hr application? Should have gone react js all the way but unfortunately was sold rails and still there without a launch

[@mixandgo]

What's wrong with Rails? And why would React be a better option?

[@fafaratze]

HTMX and UNPOLY are also an alternative.

[@mixandgo]

Thanks for sharing

[@Lwaladoaladilayoghadirosa9ama]

But come on! yes it is awesome but only when you're planning to create a web and only a web app. separating the backend from the front-end gives you the ability to create mobile/tv/whatever app because you already have the API ready. so I won't say it's an alternative to react/vue/... but it's a matter of what your final goal is!

[@mixandgo]

You can still have your mobile app and/or API if you want to. You just don't need it for the web app. A lot of web apps don't need a mobile app anyway. And Strada will roll out soon (for mobile). I don't know how that will work, but it's part of Hotwire. Plus, you often have different requirements for your mobile app than your web app. So you can build a better API for mobile.
