#98 Inline editing attributes with Hotwire

05/12/2022
Free

Allow user to easily edit an attribute by just clicking on it!
This way you can have fewer full-page redirects; don't have to always render a full edit form.
5 years ago I would have used gem best_in_place for this, but now it can be easily achieved with turbo_frames!
