Direct Messages In Realtime Chat App With Ruby On Rails 7 Chatroom | Turbo Tutorial Part 2

This tutorial will teach you how to direct message users in your realtime chat app with Ruby on Rails 7 and Turbo.

In part 1 we created the Rails 7 Chatroom, but we left DMs for part 2. The pinned comment has a link to the playlist for this tutorial series.

This is all the latest tools, including Rails Hotwire, Rails 7 Turbo, and Rails 7 Stimulus, which mainly means it's a Rails 7 Turbo application.
