Render new page but not refresh partial

Rails
1

Hi guys,

I have a rails application that are making streaming of music in a
partial.
So far so good. The problem is that I want to navigate on the
application
and not refresh the partial with the music playing because I want that
music don’t stop playing or change.

Which the best way to accomplish this ?

Best Regards
Bruno

The only way to manage this is with a frameset (yes, like in 1997). This
has some serious issues, because the browser’s URL will never change,
thus making bookmarking of individual pages within your application
impossible (or really difficult).

Another way you can do this is with daughter-windows, which of course
won’t work well on mobile.

Is the music your core offering, or very close to your core offering, or
is it a nice-to-have?

The music is my core offering.

They are likely using partials to update the rest of the page, so there
is no need to interrupt the main document loaded into the page, where
the music is playing. Have a read up on “single-page javascript
applications”.

On recentish browsers, the history api should allow you to keep
forward/back/history still working while not actually reloading the
page.
