+  title: Using Hotwire with ViewComponents
+description: An introduction of how we use Hotwire alongside ViewComponets
+keywords: Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, ViewComponents
+---
+
+# Using Hotwire with ViewComponents
+
+OpenProject uses [Hotwire](https://hotwired.dev/) alongside [ViewComponents](https://viewcomponent.org/) to build dynamic user interfaces. This combination allows us to create interactive features while maintaining a component-based architecture.
+
+The approach below is meant to be a thin abstraction layer on top of Hotwire's Turbo Streams to make them easier to use with a component based UI architecture built on ViewComponents.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+**Component Setup**
+- Components must include `OpTurbo::Streamable` module
+- Requires `component_wrapper` in templates for turbo-stream updates
+- Can specify insert targets for append/prepend operations
+
+**Controller Integration**
+- Controllers include OpTurbo::ComponentStream module
+- Provides methods for turbo-stream operations:
+  - `update_via_turbo_stream`
+  - `append_via_turbo_stream`
+  - `prepend_via_turbo_stream`
+  - `replace_via_turbo_stream`
+  - `remove_via_turbo_stream`
+  - `update_flash_message_via_turbo_stream`
+- Uses `respond_with_turbo_streams` to handle responses
+
+## Example
+
+Imagine we have a component that renders a list of journals for a work package.
+
+This is the index component:
+```ruby
+class JournalIndexComponent < ApplicationComponent
+  include OpTurbo::Streamable # include this module
+
+  def initialize(work_package:)
+    super
+
+    @work_package = work_package
+  end
+
+  attr_reader :work_package
+
+  # optional:
+
+  # modifier to determine if the insert target should be modified
+  # relevant for append or prepend operations
+  def insert_target_modified?
+    true
+  end
+
+  def insert_target_modifier_id
+    "work-package-journals"
+  end
+
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+with the following template:
+```ruby
+<%=
+  component_wrapper do # wrapper is required for turbo-stream updates!
+    flex_layout do |journals_index_wrapper_container|
+      journals_index_wrapper_container.with_row do
+        flex_layout(id: insert_target_modifier_id) do |journals_index_container|
+          work_package.journals.each do |journal|
+            journals_index_container.with_row do
+              render(JournalShowComponent.new(journal:))
+            end
+          end
+        end
+      end
+      journals_index_wrapper_container.with_row do
+        render(JournalNewComponent.new(work_package:))
+      end
+    end
+  end
+%>
+```
+
+And this is the show component:
+```ruby
+class JournalShowComponent < ApplicationComponent
+  include OpTurbo::Streamable # include this module
+
+  def initialize(journal:)
+    super
+
+    @journal = journal
+  end
+
+  attr_reader :journal
+
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+with the following template:
+```ruby
+<%=
+  component_wrapper do # wrapper is required for turbo-stream updates!
+    render(border_box_container()) do |border_box_component|
+      # ...
+    end
+  end
+%>
+```
+
+With this setup, we can creat turbo-stream updates in a rails controller quite easily:
+```ruby
+class JournalController < ApplicationController
+  include OpTurbo::ComponentStream # include this module!
+
+  # ...
+
+  def update
+    journal = Journal.find(params[:id])
+
+    journal.update(journal_params) # in real life this is done through a service obviosuly ;)
+
+    # update the journal show component
+    update_via_turbo_stream(
+      component: JournalShowComponent.new(journal: journal)
+    )
+
+    # respond with turbo streams which were collected in the @turbo_streams variable behind the scenes
+    # handy if this method is just meant to respond to turbo-stream requests
+    respond_with_turbo_streams
+  end
+
+  def create
+    journal = Journal.create(journal_params) # in real life this is done through a service obviosuly ;)
+
+    if journal.errors.empty?
+      # append the new model to the index component
+      # prepend is also possible
+      append_via_turbo_stream(
+        component: JournalShowComponent.new(journal: journal),
+        target_component: JournalIndexComponent.new(work_package: @work_package)
+      )
+      # Note: the target_component does not get rendered
+      # the instatiation is just required for the turbo-stream generation
+
+      # you can use multiple turbo_stream methods in one controller action
+      # e.g. update the new component to render an initial form
+      update_via_turbo_stream(
+        component: JournalNewComponent.new(work_package: journal.work_package)
+      )
+    else
+      # optionally set a turbo status for the response
+      @turbo_status = :bad_request
+
+      # trigger a flash message via turbo-stream
+      # more on this here lookbook/pages/patterns/flash_banner
+      update_flash_message_via_turbo_stream(
+        message: journal.errors.full_messages.join(", "),
+        scheme: :danger
+      )
+    end
+
+    # respond with turbo streams which were collected in the @turbo_streams variable behind the scenes
+    # handy if this method is just meant to respond to turbo-stream requests
+    respond_with_turbo_streams
+  end
+
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Mixing turbo-streams and other responses
+
+TODO: Discuss the below example
+
+```ruby
+class JournalController < ApplicationController
+  include OpTurbo::ComponentStream # include this module!
+
+  # ...
+
+  def update
+    # ...
+
+    respond_to do |format|
+      format.html do
+        # ...
+      end
+      format.turbo_stream do
+        update_via_turbo_stream(
+          component: JournalShowComponent.new(journal: journal)
+        )
+
+        render turbo_stream: turbo_streams, status: :ok
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Usage alongside Primer Forms/Buttons
+
+TODO: is `turbo: true` required here?
+
+```ruby
+<%=
+  component_wrapper do
+    # ...  
+    primer_form_with(
+      model: journal,
+      method: :put,
+      data: { turbo: true, turbo_stream: true }, # add this!
+      url: journal_path(id: journal.id)
+    ) do |f|
+      # ...
+    end
+    # ...
+  end
+%>
+```
+
+```ruby
+<%=
+  component_wrapper do
+    # ...  
+    render(Primer::Beta::Button.new(
+      scheme: :secondary,
+      size: :medium,
+      tag: :a,
+      href: cancel_edit_journal_path(journal.id),
+      data: { turbo: true, turbo_stream: true } # add this!
+    )) do
+      t("button_cancel")
+    end
+    # ...
+  end
+%>
+```
+
+## Requesting turbo-streams within Stimulus controllers
+
+If for some reason you need to request a turbo-stream programmatically from within a Stimulus controller, you can use the `TurboRequestsService` to do so.
+
+TODO: Discuss the TurboRequestsService API
+
+```typescript
+import { Controller } from '@hotwired/stimulus';
+import { TurboRequestsService } from 'core-app/core/turbo/turbo-requests.service';
+
+export default class IndexController extends Controller {
+
+  private turboRequests:TurboRequestsService;
+
+  async connect() {
+    const context = await window.OpenProject.getPluginContext();
+    this.turboRequests = context.services.turboRequests;
+  }
+
+  private async someMethod() {
+    // this method will automatically handle the turbo-stream response and thus trigger the DOM updates
+    const response = await this.turboRequests.request(someUrl, {
+      method: 'GET',
+    });
+
+    // for optional further processing of the stream html and response headers:
+    console.log(response.html, response.headers);
+  }
+}
+```
