Changing the title of the navbar programmatically

[ibrahima]

Hi! In JS, we can change the title of a page by writing to document.title, e.g. document.title = "Foobar" will set the page's title to Foobar in the browser. This doesn't seem to propagate to the Hotwire Native iOS navigation bar though. Is there any way to change that without triggering a refresh? Thanks!

The use case is that I'm performing an update to a model's title which gets used in the <title> attribute. I'm using Turbo Streams to update the page from the Rails response. I'd like to update the title in the iOS navigation bar as well, but I haven't found a way to do that yet, short of manually refreshing the page.

The default behavior of VisitableViewController only updates the title when the content finishes rendering.

open class VisitableViewController: UIViewController, Visitable {
    // ...

    open func visitableDidRender() {
        navigationItem.title = visitableView.webView?.title
        visitableLocationState = .resolved
    }

    // ...
}

If you want to update the native title after that a bridge component is your best bet.
