Hi folks, this is a redux of #1308 with an alternative strategy: fixing the issue in Idiomorph.
Motivating use-case
I'm building a collaborative issue tracking app, and one of the issue tracker app's primary use-cases has exposed a bug in the integration between Idiomorph and the
data-turbo-permanentattribute. Each ticket contains adata-turbo-permanentcheckbox to keep track of the client-side state of whether or not the ticket is currently expanded for that client or not. We also allow tickets to be reordered via drag-and-drop. The issue is that thisdata-turbo-permanentcheckbox is not always preserved across morphs involving ticket reorders. There are other more serious ramifications of this bug (data loss!), but this is the simplest case to illustrate the issue.Diagnosis and resolution
I have reduced this scenario down to the failing test case in this PR, and identified the issue as being within Idiomorph, which I've opened a PR for here: bigskysoftware/idiomorph#61 . However, much smaller "no-brainer" PRs from other Turbo contributors have gone ignored for months, so I'm not optimistic at its odds of a timely merge and release. Perhaps Turbo should maintain its own Idiomorph branch? At the moment, this PR is pointing Idiomorph to my own botandrose Idiomorph branch, which I'm sure is not ideal.
Thoughts?
