having to refresh the page? This kind of real-time functionality is achieved on most applications using JavaScript frameworks, such as React via state management. Most of these applications function as single-page applications, as they do not require page reloading during use to update data in real time. For a long time, Rails applications have been stateless in the sense that a page reload is usually required to get the current state of the application. For example, if you were on a Rails app that showed a list of movies available in the theater and a movie is added by an admin, the newly added movie would not show up on your dashboard unless you refreshed the page.
