Let's Build: A Twitter Clone with Ruby on Rails 7 - Part 3 - Deleting Tweets

PART 3 of 6

Timestamps: 00:20 - Delete logic in Tweets Controller 01:00 - Create a destroy.turbo_stream.erb view file 01:43 - Extract static tweet controls to a partial file 02:32 - Add delete button_to view helper 04:21 - Trying to delete the first tweet 04:51 - Bug fix for turbo_stream response to tweets 06:50 - Handling empty states

What's in this part? In Part 3 I add the first of many controls for a user to take action on a tweet. The easiest to start with is deleting tweets. We'll only want Tweet authors to delete those. All this and more in the video!

Series description: If you have followed me for some time you might remember a series I did on Ruby on Rails titled “Let’s Build”. These guides were a “learn in public” exercise I tasked myself with that ultimately resonated with a number of folks.

This specific mini-series is going to focus on redoing an older “Let’s Build” where I took on building a Twitter clone.

Since the advent of Rails 7, the way you might approach new problems when building software has changed a great deal. I wanted to take the opportunity to create some fresh content and show you how to leverage some new features of Ruby on Rails along the way.
