StimulusReflex: How to change the URL on reflex

Question

We are using StimulusReflex and want to change the URL on specific reflexes (e.g. using the Browser pushState API, e.g. via cable_ready ??).

Is this a common thing with StimulusReflex? Are there good examples somewhere?

Answer 1

Yes, you can update the URL using cable ready:

class SomeReflexClass
  def your_reflex
    cable_ready.push_state(url: new_url, state: {turbo: true})
  end
end

With turbo links setting the state to turbo: true was necessary for turbo links to handle the back button correctly, not sure if it still necessary with Turbo Drive
