Browser Manipulations
Removes all key/values pair on the local persistant storage of the user's browser. Defaults to local storage, which is saved across browser sessions. Specify type: 'session' if session storage is desired.
Data stored in either local or session storage is specific to the protocol of the page.
clear_storage(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningtype: String # ["local"] - "session" or "local")

Life-cycle events for clear_storage are raised on document.
Load a specific page from the session history. You can use it to move forwards and backwards through the history depending on the value of a parameter.
delta is the position in the history to which you want to move, relative to the current page. A negative value moves backwards, a positive value moves forwards. delta: -1 is equivalent to pressing the browsers "Back" button.
If no value is passed or if delta equals 0, it has the same result as calling location.reload().
go(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningdelta: Integer # - optional positive or negative integer)
cable-ready:before-gocable-ready:after-go
Life-cycle events for go are raised on window. Add a listener for the popstate event in order to determine when the navigation has completed.
Add an entry to the browser's session history stack.
This is similar to setting window.location = "#foo" in that both will also create and activate another history entry associated with the current document. The new URL can be any URL in the same origin as the current URL.
You can associate arbitrary data with your new history entry by passing a Hash to the optional state parameter.
push_state(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningurl: String, # required - URL Stringtitle: String, # [""] - optional Stringstate: Object # [{}] - optional Hash)
Note that push_state never causes a hashchange event to be fired, even if the new URL differs from the old URL only in its hash.

Life-cycle events for push_state are raised on window. Add a listener for the popstate event in order to determine when the navigation has completed.
Initiate navigation to a new URL. Techniques will be used in the following order:
Turbo.visit
Turbolinks.visit
window.location.href
Turbo.visit will be used if the target location is on the same domain and the Turbo library is available as window.Turbo.
Turbolinks.visit will be used if the target location is on the same domain and the Turbolinks library is available as window.Turbolinks.
There is an action option which can only be "advance" (default value, which is comparable to push_state) or replace (which is similar to replace_state).
redirect_to(action: String, # "advance" - other possible value is "replace"batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningurl: String # required - URL String)
Note that if your redirect is handled by window.location.href there can be no reliable opportunity to emit or capture an after-redirect-to event.

Life-cycle events for redirect_to are raised on window.
Remove a key/value pair on the local persistant storage of the user's browser. Defaults to local storage, which is saved across browser sessions. Specify type: 'session' if session storage is desired.
Data stored in either local or session storage is specific to the protocol of the page. Integer keys are automatically converted to strings.
remove_storage_item(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningkey: String, # requiredtype: String # ["local"] - "local" or "session")
cable-ready:before-remove-storage-itemcable-ready:after-remove-storage-item
Life-cycle events for remove_storage_item are raised on document.
Modify the current browser history entry. The browser will not load the page specified by the url and indeed, it doesn't actually have to exist.
You can associate arbitrary data with the history entry by passing a Hash to the optional state parameter.
Most of the time, you probably want to use push_state.
replace_state(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningurl: String, # required - URL Stringtitle: String, # [""] - optional Stringstate: Object # [{}] - optional Hash)
cable-ready:before-replace-statecable-ready:after-replace-state
Life-cycle events for replace_state are raised on window. Add a listener for the popstate event in order to determine when the navigation has completed.
Scroll the viewport so that the element with the specified anchor (id attribute) is in view.
scroll_into_view(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchbehavior: String, # ["auto"] - auto or smoothblock: String, # ["start"] - start, center, end, nearestcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runninginline: String, # ["nearest"] - start, center, end, nearestselector: String, # required - string containing a CSS selector or XPath expressionxpath: Boolean # [false] - process the selector as an XPath expression)
<div id="i-am-an-anchor">⚓</div>
The default behavior is to instantly jump to the element such that the top of the element is touching the top of the browser viewport.
If you're looking for a more human experience, give behavior: "smooth", block: "center" a try.

Writes a cookie to the document cookie store.
set_cookie(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)cookie: String, # required - "example=value; path=/; expires=Sat, 07 Mar 2020 16:19:19 GMT"delay: Integer # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before running)
Note that you can only set/update a single cookie at a time using this method.
cable-ready:before-set-cookiecable-ready:after-set-cookie
Life-cycle events for set_cookie are raised on document.
Set focus on the specified element, if it can be focused. The focused element is the element which will receive keyboard and similar events by default.
set_focus(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningselector: String, # required - string containing a CSS selector or XPath expressionxpath: Boolean # [false] - process the selector as an XPath expression)

Create or update a key/value pair on the local persistant storage of the user's browser. Defaults to local storage, which is saved across browser sessions. Specify type: 'session' if session storage is desired.
Data stored in either local or session storage is specific to the protocol of the page. Integer keys are automatically converted to strings.
set_storage_item(batch: String, # [null] - add the operation to a named batchcancel: Boolean, # [false] - cancel the operation (for use on client)delay: Integer, # [0] - wait for n milliseconds before runningkey: String, # requiredvalue: String, # requiredtype: String # ["local"] - "local" or "session")
