Confidently develop Rails app views with reusable components.
Make front-end development more ergonomic by cutting down on duplication across your app, while leaving your code base more maintainable and providing a consistent user experience.
Follow along from the comfort of your own editor as we refactor a fully-tested example application.
This is the companion repo for its blog-post namesake.
Join in the fun by checking out the start-here branch and coding along as
you progress deeper into the guide.
The main branch contains the app in its transformed state.
Whether you choose to use that or the pre-ViewComponent branch mentioned
above, the follow instructions will work the same either way.
# Install dependencies
bundle install
# Create the test and development databases
bin/rails db:create
# Seed the database with example data
bin/rails db:seed
# Start the development server
bin/dev
