How to get Rails backend data ? like CSRF token or form URL etc ...

[liyaodong]

If we don't have view help like react-rails gem, how to get backend data ? pass a window.xxx global javascript variable ? or send a Ajax to backend ? or just write into static jsx file ?

And another question, the page A need Login.jsx component , another page B need Admin.jsx, if all client code has been bundle into one file, how to identify different component on different pages ? or one pages component bundle into one file, include them in rails view like this

dev mode

<script src="http://localhost:8080/assets/<%= controller_name + '_' + action_name%>-bundle.self.js"></script>

What is the best practice, please give your opinions, Thank you all !

Hi @liyaodong, the example uses this: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs and $.ajax. We also use on bundle for the client side application, and check if a div id is on a page, before rendering the react component. It's also possible to put global data on the page. I've often used the https://github.com/gazay/gon for doing that.

Let's take this discussion over to http://forum.railsonmaui.com/ if you wish to discuss this further.
