Trigger client-side DOM changes from server-side Ruby via ActionCable for real-time user experiences.
What is CableReady?
CableReady is a Ruby library that enables real-time user experiences by allowing server-side Ruby code to trigger client-side DOM changes via ActionCable WebSockets. It solves the problem of building interactive, real-time features without writing custom JavaScript, making UI updates declarative and server-driven.
