Rails #148 DataTables without page refresh using Hotwire Turbo Frames

01/11/2023 (6 months ago)
hotwire turbo frames datatables

In the previous episode we added Search, Sort, and Pagination to a data table.
Turbo Frames will help us make it work WITHOUT PAGE REFRESH!
However we will have to solve some potential problems (page refresh, URL, update, redirects).
