#151 Advanced Hotwire modals
63 + 142 = 151. Why?
In Ep 63 we learnt to build modals
with Hotwire.
In Ep 142 we learnt to use the native HTML dialog element
Now let's combine them to create the perfect modal!
We will dive deep into navigating within a Turbo Frame and breaking out of it when needed.
We will render updates without page refresh on the background with Turbo Streams.
We will add a tiny bit of StimulusJS to control the modal.
We get to play with the whole Hotwire stack for this advanced behaviour!
I am really proud of this episode.
