render(component:)

I personally would be happy with some render(ComponentClass) syntactic sugar, but it seems to me the most Railsy thing to do would be that the formal method be render(component: ComponentClass) in line with the :partial, :template, :inline, :file, :plain, :html, and :body options.

Good point! This is something we recently considered internally, but decided to wait on until we try to upstream. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being the syntax we go with 😄

Rails 6.1.0.alpha now supports passing an object as the first argument to render: rails/rails#36388.

I've updated this repository and the gem to work with this syntax, passing an instance of the component in.

I actually think the component: syntax is a nicer way to go here, if not a bit verbose. I'm guessing this will come up on rails/rails as we move towards upstreaming the gem for 6.1.
