Clearance VS react-on-rails

https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance It is simple and good. You can also customize it easily.

Clearance has been better for most of my projects. Its got a cleaner implementation that Devise, and comes with a generator that will optionally dump all of the basic routes and views into the standard locations which you can then edit at will.

I tend to suggest Clearance for Rails apps that need a more focused toolset. It may not do everything that Devise does, but it definitely works well with Rails 7. https://rubygems.org/gems/clearance/versions/2.5.0

I've found a much simpler/cleaner authentication gem is Clearance. Devise does just about everything, but Clearance is more opinionated so out of the box it does more of what you normally want.

...because some folks prefer clearance to devise! :-D

Clearance is a Rails authentication with email & password. It is intended to be small, simple, and well-tested. It has opinionated defaults but is intended to be easy to override. 3,321 stars by now

You should take a look at https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails. I created that repo back in 2015 and it's still going strong. Popmenu.com uses it and we've got 5,000 restaurant chains on the Rails monolith and huge traffic and transaction volume. Check out the html source of a popmenu site, like https://110grill.com. You'll see react-on-rails in the source.

It's me, Justin, the guy the started React on Rails and React on Rails Pro many years ago! I'll be following this thread!

The problem is I have no idea how to implement the "remember me" feature in that gem without just making the tokens not refresh for a very long time (I think that would be a security concern). So then I looked more into react_on_rails to just use sessions with Devise as a normal rails app, but I don't know if I'll be able to deploy that on AWS because of the changes I have to do to the webpacker/webpack config to allow for a better folder structure. I've never done that so I don't know if there may be any issues.

I have a production level Ruby on Rails app that is slowly transitioning from pure Rails with JS sprinkles to a Rails backend and React frontend kind of situation using React on Rails.

https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails - It was last updated 2 months ago & can do prerendering. I'm not sure why more people aren't suggesting this.

https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails use this instead. It's maintained and preferred nowadays

React on Rails is an integration of React + Webpack + Rails + rails/webpacker including server-side rendering of React, enabling a better developer experience and faster client performance. 4,558 stars by now
