Broadcasting to a resource - where you're sending based on what you're looking at instead of who you are - is easy and powerful. This example combines StimulusReflex's "Nothing Morph" concept - a light-weight RPC mechanism - to instruct CableReady to broadcast to everyone's favourite resource, current_user (which is being converted to User#1).
You can find out more in the CableReady Docs.

Note that caching in development is locked in the "on" position. This is a good thing.
Part of the reason this example is so powerful is that there's very little to it. That's why it's exciting.
Still, the files you're interested in are likely:
- app/reflexes/example_reflex.rb
- app/channels/application_cable/connection.rb
- app/channels/users_channel.rb
- app/javascript/channels/users_channel.js
