react-rails VS react-on-rails

https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails here is the functionality and simplicity that I would be kind of looking for. The option for it to exist in Django ecosystem is not that outlandish and I wouldn’t be too ignorant of it having to make sense or not make sense to everyone :)

You can however use reactjs with rails, there is a gem for it https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails

The react-rails library is one of the most popular Ruby gems to integrate React with Rails. It provides generators for components, testing helpers, and view helpers to render JavaScript code inside the views.

I'd checkout https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails

I'm looking to implement ReactJS as the view of my Rails application with the gem react-rails.So far, I've only used the standard .erb to render my views in my RoR application and I am wondering some questions about how to do it with React.

I'm trying to use the Ace editor in my Ruby on Rails app, with majority of the view composed as React components. I'm using the react-rails gem and I'm not using flux at all.

What do you mean common HTML/CSS? Your React app needs access to front end assets that are on your Rails app? If that's the case, then easiest way would be to combine the repos and use something like [react-rails](https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails)

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
