Force SockJS client to perform a Turbolinks page reload

[michaelbaudino]

Hi there,

On a fresh Rails 6 install, we are using the following snippet in config/webpack/development.js to ask the browser to reload the page when we modify a Rails view (adapted from this comment from a Webpack dev):

const chokidar = require('chokidar')
environment.config.devServer.before = (_app, server) => {
  chokidar.watch([
    'config/locales/*.yml',
    'app/views/**/*.erb',
    'app/views/**/*.haml',
    'app/views/**/*.slim'
  ]).on('change', () => server.sockWrite(server.sockets, 'content-changed'))
}

Does anyone know how we could ask the browser to perform this page reload using Turbolinks, rather than this full page reload? Is there a way to add a handle for a custom event (other than content-changed) to SockJS client in our Webpacker configuration?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for the example @michaelbaudino! 🙏

I'm not sure that's possible for Turbolinks though :/

I'm closing because it's not directly related to Webpacker.
