Turbo
JavaScript framework from Hotwire that updates server-rendered web applications by sending HTML over the wire.
turbo.hotwired.dev/repositorydocs
Turbo is a JavaScript framework from Hotwire. The server delivers HTML, and Turbo applies it to the page: Turbo Drive handles links and form submissions, Turbo Frames update independent parts of a page, and Turbo Streams apply changes sent over WebSocket or SSE, or returned from a form submission.
A page loads Turbo from a jsDelivr script tag, from a download of the compiled packages from unpkg, or from npm as @hotwired/turbo. It can also be installed with yarn, and Rails applications get it through the turbo-rails gem.
Worth knowing
For JavaScript that Turbo does not cover, the project names Stimulus, which has its own record.
