238

### Using with Turbo
|
239
|
+
|
240
|
+
[Turbo](https://github.com/hotwired/turbo) is a simple solution for getting the performance benefits of a single-page application without the added complexity of a client-side JavaScript framework. MetaTags supports Turbo out of the box, so no configuration is necessary.
|
241
|
+
|
242
|
+
In order to update the page title, you can use the following trick. First, set the ID for the `<title>` HTML tag using MetaTags configuration in your initializer `config/initializers/meta_tags.rb`:
|
243
|
+
|
244
|
+
```ruby
|
245
|
+
MetaTags.configure do |config|
|
246
|
+
config.title_tag_attributes = {id: "page-title"}
|
247
|
+
end
|
248
|
+
````
|
248
249
|
|
249
|
-
|
250
|
+
Now in your turbo frame, you can update the title using a turbo stream:
|
250
251
|
|
251
|
-
|
252
|
-
|
253
|
-
|
254
|
-
|
252
|
+
```html
|
253
|
+
<turbo-frame ...>
|
254
|
+
<turbo-stream action="update" target="page-title">
|
255
|
+
<template>My new title</template>
|
256
|
+
</turbo-stream>
|
257
|
+
</turbo-frame>
|
258
|
+
```
|
255

|
260
|
-
so page title will not change. To fix this, when using a page fragment, pjax will check
|
261
|
-
the fragment DOM element for a `title` or `data-title` attribute and use any value it finds.

Take into consideration that if you're already using OpenGraph to describe data on your page, it’s easy to generate a Twitter card without duplicating your tags and data. When the Twitter card processor looks for tags on your page, it first checks for the Twitter property, and if not present, falls back to the supported Open Graph property. This allows both to be defined on the page independently and minimizes the amount of duplicate markup required to describe your content and experience.
