Digging into View Transitions with Turbo 8 and Rails

This is a super quick tutorial to show you the new ViewTransition API that ships with Turbo 8 and Rails, which was released recently.
View Transitions are a neat way to add more fluidity between views in your app. With Rails and Turbo 8, adding this effect is pretty straightforward. The most challenging obstacle is understanding the CSS side of the equation.
Follow along as I demo different ways to leverage the View Transition API using Turbo 8 and Ruby on Rails.

View Transitions is still Chrome only but interesting video!

[@peaceandworld]

Hi! Is it works with Bootstrap or with Tailwind only?

[@Webcrunch]

No framework required actually! Just plain old CSS should do it. 👍

[@wakematta]

I wonder if instead of turbo we should use HTMX. (we = rails community)
Any opinion?

[@Webcrunch]

I'd look at stimulus if you haven't. It's very similar to HTMX and aspects of turbo. I suppose it depends if you're site is super simple/static versus something more full stack like Rails.
