data-turbo-action is being ignored in link_to

[ondrej-zadnik]

Hello,

We are trying to migrate from Turbolinks to Turbo and we also use turbo ios app.

with turbolinks we used this:

view:
link_to add_to_favorites_path(id: id), method: :post, remote: true, class: 'button', data: { disable_with: _("Adding...")} do ...

controller:
redirect_back favorites_path, notice: "added to favorites", turbolinks: :replace

after rewriting to turbo:

view:
link_to add_to_favorites_path(id: id), class: 'button', data: { turbo_method: :post, disable_with: _("Adding..."), turbo_action: "replace" } do ...

controller:
redirect_to favorites_path, notice: "added to favorites", status: :see_other

In the browser everything works correctly but in turbo native mobile app :replace action is ignored and fallback to advance. I tried to search in the code for link_to with non-get method and I didn't find where the turbo-action method being set.




After rewrite to button_to everything works correctly:
button_to add_to_favorites(id: id), class: 'button', data: { disable_with: "Adding..."), turbo_action: "replace" } do ...

Another link_to with data-turbo-method: :delete behaves the same way

Is my guess correct and link_to with data-turbo-method ignores data-turbo-action?

That sounds right. Please do investigate adding support for data-turbo-action to link_to 👍
