JavaScript Bundling for Rails:

CSS Bundling for Rails:

Just what I needed! It's 2023 and this works perfectly.

Javascript has been a bit confusing/scattered on Rails for a while now, even when we've tried to opt for going by the conventions as much as possible. That has really been the main pain for me with an otherwise amazing framework.

Looks like you're in the process of nailing this too!

[leehericks]

Glorious. I've really enjoyed watching this shape up over the last month David!

[jonocodes]

I’m glad they took this idea from Phoenix

[Rekefa]

This looks amazing! I was a little worried about the hotwire default, but now this allows a lot of new opportunities for rails

[chrisr]

I've heard they do something interesting with Docker to develop at Basecamp. I'm eager for DHH to show us and possibly release something useful to help us :-)

[fabiannot]

Nice… I was studying tailwind on a elixir Phoenix project.. so, seeing that addon on Rails is awesome 😎

[dupre]

I 💘 Rails! I've been coding in Rails for 10+ years and I've only ever used it as my back-end API. Well, except a few tutorials and a silly side project for scrum poker 🃏. Maybe I'll try a Rails front-end project with Rails 7.

[Mixesha]

That's awesome. I like the direction. Webpack was great but with time it was adding too much complexity.

[arthurkelley]

rails 7 looks very promising, hope it will drive new life to RoR, DHH has a very good vision how should modern development look

[GG-bvou]

Wait.. how did the "class" attribute work in jsx? Isn't it supposed to be "className" instead? So confused

[RyanJeffB]

Looking forward to this. but I hope this will not have issue to other browser! Kudos!

[vanopiano]

What is you remove "font-extrabold" from html.erb. Will it recompile css without font-extrabold included or it also watches JSX components css usage?

[MiguelPeniche]

How can we add another css eg. "custom.css" and compile it so we can use it in other layout?

[k]

With these changes, would be nice to move app/javascript back to app/assets/javascript

[ytflix]

What if your JSX conditionally adds a class to some div? Will Tailwind include it in the pruned set of classes?

[koviniskaciukas]

Is the importmaps shim available somewhere or is it custom built for rails? I have trouble finding it for download.

[andrewoko-odion]

This does not tell one, how to get in data into the react component

[vesh]

Гениально! Пол часа разговаривать а потом накопипастить кода и сказать "Мое изобретение!"
