Ruby on Rails Wednesday, February 19, 2020


I'm not suggesting any breaking changes at all. 

I've been using Rails since Rails version 2 so I don't know what you mean "like that from the beginning"

In the beginning, DHH said things would "just work" and, as a community we would value convention over configuration. 


As far as using ActiveModel with the form_with, I don't think that's relevant, it wouldn't make any difference as to behavior. 

All I'm suggesting is that Turbolinks is too complicated and should be OFF by default, like a lot of other things, so that it could be opted-into by the dev instead of forced upon us by the framework.

I never use the method, so, I guess, it can be considered as somewhat obscure. It seems to appear in Rails version 5.1 and no change since.
Normally, I would use ActiveModel for a local form. Just in case you don't know, ActiveModel can also be used independently from ActiveRecord.

This is the earliest docs I found.
https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.1/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#method-i-form_with

Guess someone already complained, but it is too late; there is no good reason to introduces breaking changes for a better default.
Also, in a sense, this can be the better default, since ActiveModel is there for you to build a form for the same app.
