Turbo 8 and the morphing functionality that was presented at the first Rails World is looking like a strong contender for the most magical Rails feature yet! And as with every Rails magic feature I’m part excited for all of the development time savings I’m about to reap and anxious for all of the time I will waste figuring out why it stopped working. In my 15+ year long professional career dominated by Rails projects I’ve experienced both. Thankfully it was mostly the former but the latter was quite painful and I would really like to eliminate it. My favourite way to battle it is to pull the curtain on the magic. I’m not scared once I’ve seen the wizard behind the curtain pulling the ropes.

Turbo 8 with morphing works great. It helped us remove a lot of code. I just deployed it to production today.

I found some problems; it would be good to have the option to suppress page refreshes on the front end. Sometimes it's not possible to do suppression on the backend when parallel requests update the same model in a short period of time, which leads to many broadcasts:

Also, I had some issues with Stimulus, which can behave oddly when you refresh the page with morphing:

Other than that, Turbo 8 with morphing is awesome. Thanks to that, we added a live view to the Knapsack Pro user dashboard. Screenshots: https://twitter.com/KnapsackPro/status/1735417411745042520

Cheers!
