rails6-mongoid-stimulus

Example Rails 6.1 app with Mongoid & Stimulus (no rails_ujs)

Why?

Pretty much to address removal of rails_ujs breaking Devise's "The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete".

About this repo

• rails_ujs/@rails/ujs completely removed in anticipation of official deprecation and replacement by https://github.com/hotwired/stimulus-rails.
• Includes a link_to 'blah', blah_path, method: :delete (with optional confirm: 'Are you sure?') via stimulus instead of rails_ujs.
• HAML used instead of ERB for view templates.

Features

Stimulus

link_to-controller

NOTICE: Functionality ported from rails_ujs is scoped to link_to here in rails6-mongoid-stimulus

• includes rails_ujs delete and confirm/delete
• includes functionality of rails_ujs confirm
• includes rails_ujs Rails.isCrossDomain helper

Usage

1. Install Stimulus for Rails.

2. Add link-to_controller.js to app/javascripts/controllers/.

3. In view template, use link_to per instructions and documentation.

4. To link_to add stimulus controller and action with data attributes like: data: {controller: 'link-to', action: 'click->link-to#method'}

Example:

rails6-mongoid-stimulus/app/views/home/index.html.haml

Lines 4 to 6 in a2b3f0c

	= link_to "delete", "/delete", method: :delete, data: {controller: 'link-to', action: 'click->link-to#method'}
	%br
	= link_to "delete", "/delete", method: :delete, data: {controller: 'link-to', action: 'click->link-to#method', confirm: 'Are you sure?'}

# in app/views/blah/whatevs.html.haml

= link_to "delete", "/blah/1337", method: :delete, data: {controller: 'link-to', action: 'click->link-to#method'}
# <a data-controller="link-to" data-action="click->link-to#method" rel="nofollow" data-method="delete" href="/blah/1337">delete</a>

= link_to "delete", "/blah/1337", method: :delete, data: {controller: 'link-to', action: 'click->link-to#method', confirm: 'Are you sure?'}
# <a data-controller="link-to" data-action="click->link-to#method" data-confirm="Are you sure?" rel="nofollow" data-method="delete" href="/blah/1337">delete</a>
