Browser support for Opal. (by opal)
YASL
Yet Another Serialization Library - A pure Ruby auto-serialization library that works across different Ruby implementations like Opal and JRuby as an automatic alternative to YAML/Marshal. Unlike Marshal, it does not raise errors for unserializable objects, thus provides a highly productive friction-free auto-serialization experience. (by AndyObtiva)

Opal v1.7 released with Ruby 3.2 support
Opal itself aims just at creating a Ruby runtime and a couple of life improvements, but there exist a couple of helper gems, for instance Opal-Browser (for an idiomatic API to interact with DOM and other browser APIs), Opal-Rails (for integrating with a Sprockets pipeline of Rails), Opal-RSpec (to test your frontend application). There exist a number of libraries and bindings to JS libraries for Opal.

Opal 1.6.0 and Opal-RSpec 1.0.0 released
Opal is a Ruby (3.1) to JavaScript (ES5) compiler allowing you to write frontend code in pure Ruby and have it translated to clean and efficient JavaScript. It also includes a highly compatible core library that includes all the methods you've come to love. All this with a robust support of source maps, so you can debug Ruby code, not JavaScript in your Web Console. It can be used both to create websites entirely in Ruby (using Opal-Browser, or ports of known JavaScript libraries) and to port existing Ruby libraries to JavaScript, to be ran both in Node.JS and in web browsers (and other JavaScript environments).

Opal 1.5.0 released - compile Ruby to JS and run it in a browser
You can use opal-browser, which - just like jQuery itself - wraps the DOM API, is much more maintained than opal-jquery, offers much more functionality and has a similar API to opal-jquery (and to Nokogiri).
For Rails integration we provide opal-rails, a Gem, that after inclusion will transparently handle .rb files in your JavaScript asset directory (via Sprockets). To interface with a web browser, you would also need to use opal-browser. As an alternative you can use Hyperstack, which deeply integrates React, Rails and Opal.
-
Opal 1.3 released
Opal itself is a low-level thing, not depending on Rails whatsoever. We provide an official Gem for integration with Rails that integrates everything nicely and allows you to have .rb files in your JavaScript assets directory. Unlike Rails, Opal is not opinionated, to interface with web browser APIs properly you need to either use a library that wraps DOM directly, use a similar one that wraps jQuery or use Hyperstack, a fully-fledged Rails-integrated framework based on React that also allows you to share your models between frontend and backend. It's also possible to not use any of those and interface JavaScript APIs directly using an API that looks like this: $$[:document][:location].replace("https://opalrb.com/") or simply embed JavaScript with a backtick notation: `document.location.replace(#{@url})`.
