react-rails-simple

A simple setup for putting react into your rails

Getting Started

1. Copy assets into your rails project
2. Install modules npm install
3. Add bundle tag
4. Go! foreman start -f Procfile.dev

Adding the javascript bundle

Drop this into your main application layout

<%= javascript_bundle_tag 'main' %>

Using components in rails views

Export component in app/assets/javascripts/components/index.js

// app/assets/javascripts/components/index.js
export MyComponent from './MyComponent'

Use the component helper to render a React component into a view:

component(String component_name, Hash props)

<%= component('MyComponent', {}) %>

Production

The javascript bundle will be compiled during assets:precompile
