2/19/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Updating Permanent Elements On Page Navigation In Hotwire Turbo And Lucee CFML
In a Hotwire Turbo application, when you add the data-turbo-permanent attribute to an element (accompanied by an id attribute), this element will be cached and then replaced into subsequent pages that contain an element with the same id. Element permanence is awesome when you want to, for example, lazy-load a Turbo-Frame once and then have it persist across pages. But, it means that updating the content of said element gets tricky. I wanted to explore this idea in the context of "Toast Messages" in Lucee CFML.
