Symfony UX: Turbo

Think you need to build an SPA (single page app) in React or Vue to make your site feel like an SPA? Think again!

In part 1 of this series - Symfony UX: Stimulus - we talked about a library that allows you to attach JavaScript functionality to HTML elements - even if that HTML is loaded via AJAX.

In this course, we'll talk about Turbo: a JavaScript library that instantly makes your site feel like an SPA. How? By turning every link and form into an AJAX call... without you needing to make any changes to your app (well, almost no changes):

• Understanding and enabling Turbo Drive!
• Reloading the page when assets change
• Form updates: returning a 4xx status code
• AJAX loading parts of your page with Turbo Frames
• Symfony'x ux-turbo package!
• Making links/form submits "stay" inside a frame
• Targeting the main page from a frame
• Turbo streams: updating multiple parts of your page from the server!

The end result? A "traditional" site (one that returns HTML) that absolutely flies!
