jsbundling-rails VS tailwindcss-stimulus-components

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My question is I have seen tailwindcss-stimulus-components and wondered if there are any video tutorials on how to implement it?

If you don't want to pay for it, you can build your own, or use components other people have created, like tailwindcss-stimulus-components.

Tailwind CSS Stimulus Components

Have you seen this? https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components

yeah just got started. i’m using the gem at https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components for now, and i’m hard coding in all the transitions. but starting to get cumbersome. wondering if i should just use their react/vue components for anything pre-built, and write my own stimulus controllers for whatever limited needs i have. (goal is to leverage server side rendered html plus hotwire for most of the heavy lifting)

// Credit: This controller is an edited-to-the-essentials version // of the modal component created by @excid3 as part of the essential // tailwind-stimulus-components package found here: // https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components // In production, use the full component from the // library or expand this controller to allow for // keyboard closing and dealing with scroll positions import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus" export default class extends Controller { static targets = ['container']; connect() { this.toggleClass = 'hidden'; this.backgroundId = 'modal-background'; this.backgroundHtml = this._backgroundHTML(); this.allowBackgroundClose = true; } disconnect() { this.close(); } open() { document.body.classList.add('fixed', 'inset-x-0', 'overflow-hidden'); this.containerTarget.classList.remove(this.toggleClass); document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', this.backgroundHtml); this.background = document.querySelector(`#${this.backgroundId}`); } close() { if (typeof event !== 'undefined') { event.preventDefault() } this.containerTarget.classList.add(this.toggleClass); if (this.background) { this.background.remove() } } _backgroundHTML() { return `${this.backgroundId}" class="fixed top-0 left-0 w-full h-full" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); z-index: 9998;">`; } }

Yeah, I made this to replicate the JS features of Bootstrap in Tailwind & Stimulus: https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components

this is extended from the original modal supplied from tailwindcss-stimulus-components
