DEPRECATED
==========

[](#deprecated)

In favor of the **original repository [Frenzy Turbolinks](https://github.com/frenzyapp/turbolinks/blob/1.0-dev/README_LARASSET.md)**, who merged my changes 👍

Turbolinks for Laravel 4.1+
===========================

[](#turbolinks-for-laravel-41)

Turbolinks is a port of the Rails [turbolinks](https://github.com/rails/turbolinks)and the [jquery.turbolinks](https://github.com/kossnocorp/jquery.turbolinks) gems for projects using the PHP [Laravel](http://laravel.com) 4.1+ framework.

Versions
--------

[](#versions)

Current versions of the following JavaScript libraries are used:

- turbolinks: v2.4.0
- jquery.turbolinks: v2.1.0

For [**Laravel 5.0**](http://laravel.com/docs/5.0) supports see [Turbolinks 1.0 branch](https://github.com/efficiently/turbolinks/tree/1.0)

Performance
-----------

[](#performance)

Turbolinks makes following links in your web application faster. Instead of letting the browser recompile the JavaScript and CSS between each page change, it keeps the current page instance alive and replaces only the body and the title in the head.

Performance improvements will vary depending on the amount of CSS and Javascript you are using. You can get up to a 2X increase when using a lot of Javascript and CSS. You can find the Rails benchmarks [here](https://stevelabnik/turbolinks_test).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org)

[](#using-composer)

Add the following in your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "require": {
        // ...
        "efficiently/turbolinks": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Run this command in a terminal:

```
composer update efficiently/turbolinks
```

Add `'Efficiently\Turbolinks\TurbolinksServiceProvider', ` to the `providers` array in `app/config/app.php`**after** [Larasset](https://github.com/efficiently/larasset) one (if you have installed this package).

### With the [Larasset](https://github.com/efficiently/larasset) package

[](#with-the-larasset-package)

If you have installed the [Larasset](https://github.com/efficiently/larasset) package:

The `turbolinks.js` and `jquery.turbolinks.js` files will be added to the asset pipeline and available for you to use.

Add these lines in your `app/assets/javascripts/application.js` file, in this order:

```
//= require jquery
//= require jquery.turbolinks
//= require jquery_ujs
//
// ... your other scripts here ...
//
//= require turbolinks
```

Then if the ``section of your main layout.

```
>

        {{ stylesheet_link_tag('application', ['data-turbolinks-track' => true]) }}
        {{ javascript_include_tag('application', ['data-turbolinks-track' => true]) }}

```

### Without the Larasset package (legacy method)

[](#without-the-larasset-package-legacy-method)

Click [here](README_LEGACY.md) to publish the assets manually.

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

The turbolinks javascript is designed to work with any browser that fully supports pushState and all the related APIs. This includes Safari 6.0+ (but not Safari 5.1.x!), IE10+, and latest Chrome and Firefox.

Do note that existing JavaScript libraries may not all be compatible with Turbolinks out of the box due to the change in instantiation cycle. You might very well have to modify them to work with Turbolinks' new set of events. For help with this, check out the [Turbolinks Compatibility project](http://reed.github.io/turbolinks-compatibility).

Additional Resources
--------------------

[](#additional-resources)

Please refer to the [turbolinks](https://github.com/rails/turbolinks) and [jquery.turbolinks](https://github.com/kossnocorp/jquery.turbolinks) projects if you require additional information on the javascript libraries and their usage.
