Turbolinks

Turbolinks makes following links in your web application faster. For more information, visit the original rails repo: turbolinks.js.

Installation

To install Flask-Turbolinks, simply:

$ pip install Flask-Turbolinks

Or alternatively if you don’t have pip:

$ easy_install Flask-Turbolinks

Usage

To enable turbolinks, you need to put turbolinks.js in the <head> of your html templates.

The backend flask app should be wrapped with turbolinks:

from flask import Flask
from flask_turbolinks import turbolinks

app = Flask(__name__)
# you app should has a secret key for session
app.secret_key = 'secret'

turbolinks(app)

And everything works now, no more configuration.

Note

You can install the javascript code with component:

$ component install lepture/flask-turbolinks

You can also grab the code from turbolinks.js on GitHub. It is written in CoffeeScript, you can compile it with:

coffee -c turbolinks.js.coffee
