Avo reload_records Not Working in Grid View

Issue Description

In the grid view, calling reload_records does not refresh the records correctly. A manual page refresh is required.

• License type: Community / Pro / Advanced
• Using monkey patches or custom views? No

Debugging Steps

✅ 1. Check Browser Console

• Open DevTools (F12 → Console)
• Look for JavaScript errors or network errors when reload_records is triggered

✅ 2. Verify Grid View Setup

• Are you calling reload_records inside a custom action or controller?
• Check if the method is being executed properly.

✅ 3. Check Avo Documentation & Source Code

• Avo might have changed how reload_records works.
• Check Avo GitHub Issues and Avo Docs for updates.

✅ 4. Force Turbo to Work (If Using Hotwire)

Try manually forcing Turbo to refresh:

Turbo.visit(window.location.href, { action: "replace" })

or, soft trigger reload
Avo.reload()

Hi @m7madmagdy,

The reload_records action response is not expected to work in grid view. As stated in the docs, this option leverages Turbo Stream to refresh specific table rows in response to an action.

Thanks for reaching out! We'll discuss the possibility of extending this feature to work with other view types, such as grid

We'd love to merge a PR if you're up for contributing! I'd be happy to guide you through the process.

Hi @Paul-Bob
Yes! I'd love to contribute!, Please guide me through the process, and let me know how I can help. I'm excited to contribute to Avo

Cool! There’s a contributing guide that will help you set up the local environment, after which you should be able to get started.

The reload_records alias of reload_record is executed here.

This method iterates through all the selected records for the action, reconstructs the table row for each, and then uses append_to_response to append a Turbo stream that replaces each affected record with the newly built component.

Somewhere around here, there should be a view_type set to grid in the parameters. After identifying the grid type, you’ll need to replicate this logic, but instead of reconstructing a table row, it should reconstruct a grid card.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any blockers.

Thanks for taking the initiative, we really appreciate it!
