RubyJS-Vite
With importmaps (https://github.com/rails/importmap-rails) and Hotwire (https://hotwired.dev/), you write plain js and serve it.
Also packages are served via CDN. There is no tree shaking. Rails got rid of the whole bundling step.

Importmap audit - “checks the NPM registry for known security issues”

Asset compilation taking ~ 12 mins
It worked, but JS changes were not coming through. Digging into the Importmap docs (see 'sweeping the cache', it monitors changes according to the setting config.importmap.cache_sweepers. So, by adding the locations where I have my JS files, I also got JS changes passed through.

Is the default importmap method unrealistic in the most popular real world use cases?
You can't use TypeScript, or anything that requires pre-compile, with importmap. answered issue

Ruby on Rails with React on Typescript using importmaps
Let's begin by installing the necessary dependencies. The first gem generates the importmap object, manages caching, and helps with library installations, among other things. I recommend reading the entire readme to become familiar with its capabilities. The second gem will be discussed later, it is used to compile JSX files. Gemfile

Pirep.io collects the unpublished, local knowledge on public, private, and unmapped airport that anyone can contribute to
Yeah, those were brand new right around the time I started this project a few years ago with Rails 7 (or was it 6.1?). I actually ended up removing them in favor of importmap-rails since I wanted as simple of a frontend as possible and I wasn't sure of relying on what was, at the time, a brand new way of doing frontend work. Things change so quickly in JS-land that I'm always hesitant to make something a dependency unless it has a strong track record of being continuously maintained.

Dusting off my rails knowledge, need some tips / guidance on rails 7 and production

A powerful search feature with what Rails provides out of the box
Also, installing StimulusReflex seems quite not easy for the moment: It seems there are some quirks along the way if you're using import-maps for managing javascript dependencies as I do. Embracing the Rails way at least prevents you from this sort of issue.

Is the default importmap method unrealistic in the most popular real world use cases?
I think this is more like a demo - you will not get the same features as jsbundling-rails by only following instructions in the video. For that you will need to change some other files as well. You can find out what files to be added/changed from the install script. The important bits are mostly the same as in the video, but some supplement parts are not mentioned in the video. Some people actually reported in the comment that they can't deploy such app, but I think it depends.

at my wits' end.. please help me figure out why javascript won't work (Rails 7 with esbuild)
I'm sorry, I didn't see that in your title. Using esbuild is 100% supported by Rails through this gem https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails. Have a look at the docs there to make sure that you're setup correctly.

Configure Stimulus with esbuild and Babel — Rails & Javascript
Rails applications are bundler-agnostic. They do not care how you bundle your javascript code. It just expects whatever comes from the bundler to be placed under app/assets, so the asset pipeline processes it. We can see this in the official jsbundling-rails gem, which consists of scripts to install different bundlers and configure a default npm build command to generate our bundles—no interaction whatsoever with the Rails configuration. This black-box bundler logic allows us to change and update our bundler system without tuning any other aspect of our Rails application.

foreman: not found
Hello, this is my first time setting up a rails app that also uses react, I am using https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails I went with esbuild because I am following this tutorial on setting it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoLJXjEV2nM, however when I run bin/dev in the terminal I get the error bin/dev: 8: exec: foreman: not found
- Ruby 3.2 + Rails 7 + Tailwind + Font Awesome - should be blazing fast, yet tests very slow. 20 requests are being made. How do I make fewer requests, create fewer objects and make this simple app super fast? Production : https pickaxe dot ca. Thank you! -Dan H

How to bundle assets in a Rails engine
You first install your asset handlers as you need them for your project. They can be anything from rails/jsbundling-rails and rails/tailwindcss-rails to webpacker or something custom.

Comparing Phoenix to Rails in December 2022
The functionality comes from https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails and https://github.com/rails/cssbundling-rails -- both come with Rails 7 and all you have to do is generate your app with the choices you want such as -j esbuild --css tailwind.

Vercel announces Turbopack, the successor to Webpack
The Rails https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails gem lets you pick between esbuild, rollup and Webpack. If Turbopack ends up being popular then jsbundling should be able to support it.
The nice thing about Rails now is there's no direct integration like Webpacker once was. Now we can basically use the JS tool straight up and Rails will just look at assets in a specific directory, it doesn't matter what tool generated it.
What are some alternatives?
esbuild-rails - Esbuild Rails plugin
vite_ruby - ⚡️ Vite.js in Ruby, bringing joy to your JavaScript experience
esbuilder - Integrate esbuild into Rails
hotwire-rails - Use Hotwire in your Ruby on Rails app
esbuild-live-reload
Webpacker - Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
sprockets-rails - Sprockets Rails integration
shakapacker - Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails
