Build a React App with Ruby on Rails (Part 2: React Router)

== Overview ==
In the last video, we created a simple hello world with react and ruby on rails. In this video, we are going to extend that app by adding react router and creating routes for our app.

Great video! Only I suggest to use "get" instead of "match" due to security reasons. "Get" works perfect too ☺

[LiaAdzumi]

Great tutorials. Thanks. Please show to us, how to add navbar and its link to the Home, About and Contact Pages. As well, if possible, please add create CRUD operation in this App.

Nice intro but I'm bit confused. Can you tell me why aren't you using 'react-rails' gem? What is a difference between add component in app/assets/javascripts vs app/javascript?

Thanks for posting about this. I'm running a rails 7 with esbuild to try to get a react front end going. When I implement this, I get an issue with the index.js file continuously remounting (like an infinite useEffect loop, except there is no useEffect in this case). Would this setup work with the latest version (Using routes and route instead of switch) of react router dom? Thank you!

I don't get meaning the match *path, It is like setup for single page app right?

0:35 What's the difference between ./bin/webpack-dev-server and rails s --binding:<ipaddress> ?

But how does React interact with the database through Rails?

[HemantKumar]

I've done this exact tutorial three times and I'm always unable to get the routing to work. The URLs change but the page never loads the appropriate container. I'm getting no errors unfortunately just a blank page for each of the links I've set up in my navigation component. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi! there is any way to set the route matcher *path in the React app instead of the Rails app? I want the Rails app to be an API-only app and it's not intended to render views.

Thank you for the video Zyne. Do you see any downside on using React inside Rails? Are you using in any project in production?

[duende]

Thanks for the tuto, It's really useful. Someone else has problems with the browser back/forward buttons? I just get an empty screen.

Hello, i don't understand the interest to create a react app into a rails app... What the interest ? i'm use RoR and i am interested to react...

[泰勒-ir]

I don’t understand why you are configuring the routes in react not rails
