In this episode, we create a highly interactive question and answer feature using Ruby on Rails and Hotwire. We also look at handling contextual actions based on the user when broadcasting the answers, all without writing any javascript.
With Hotwire, we can create form where each input field is saved once a user has changed its value. We look at some of the common issues that you could run into when using Hotwire and some ways to mitigate those problems.
Continuing on from Episode 364, we look at a few different approaches to getting live updates on Full Calendar. We look at a few attempts which seems to work, but introduce unfavorable bugs and finally a workaround to get things working nicely.
We look at 4 different ways to add Bootstrap v5 to our Rails application. Depending on your application's direction, you may choose the appropriate route; Webpacker, the Bootstrap gem, CDN or Hotwire + yarn.
