Toggle

Toggle content via conditional rendering.

This example will re-render the post partial and toggle the form section.

<!-- app/views/posts/_post.html.erb -->
<%= tag.div id: dom_id(post) do %>
  <!-- content -->

  <%= toggle_trigger_tag renders: current_partial_path, morphs: dom_id(post),
    controls: dom_id(post, :form), locals: local_assigns, assigns: { post: @post }) do %>
    <% if toggle_target_collapsed?  dom_id(post, :form) %>
      <%= link_to "Edit Post Inline", request.path %>
    <% else %>
      <%= link_to "Cancel Editing Post", request.path %>
    <% end %>
  <% end %>

  <%= toggle_target_tag dom_id(post, :form) do %>
    <%= render "posts/form", post: post %>
  <% end %>

  <!-- content -->
<% end %>
