In this tutorial, you will learn about Real. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you master this topic.

Real-time doesn't require a SPA. MPAs can use WebSockets, SSE, or Turbo Streams for live updates without losing MPA simplicity.

// Server-Sent Events in an MPA
const eventSource = new EventSource('/updates');
eventSource.addEventListener('new-message', (e) => {
  const template = document.getElementById('message-template');
  const clone = template.content.cloneNode(true);
  clone.querySelector('.text').textContent = e.data;
  document.getElementById('messages').prepend(clone);
});
