Example of using Turbolinks 5 in Laravel

This Laravel 5.2 demo project aims to test Turbolinks 5.

Turbolinks make the navigation ultra fast using xhr of every request, and also made possible form submission with xhr, with the help of the server, in this case Laravel.

Demo

The demo only have a few links, showing that every links is an xhr request, with one example of redirection and also show the case of using a form submission (login) using turbolinks.

How this demo works?

• Use Turbolinks 5, using laravel elixir (only two lines of code)
• Use a Middleware call FilterIfTurbolinks (this is the key to use redirection and xhr form submission)
• Optional use a FormRequest call TurbolinksRequest that always return a response of a view or html, so you can inject some Request that extends of this Request
• In order to use the redirection, is necessary to set the value of _turbolinks_location with the route that or url that is intended to redirect. You can set manual the value of _turbolinks_location or you can use the helper response like this: response()->turbolinks('/home') (redirect to home and set the value of this url in the session _turbolinks_location)

Why I made this demo?

I made this demo in order to test Turbolinks, but I never use Turbolinks before.

I saw the video of the RailsConf 2016 about Turbolinks and I believe that would be pretty cool using Laravel and make some mobile application.
