react-rails VS Webpacker

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)

Using Webpacker in Rails provides several advantages over the traditional asset pipeline. First, Webpacker uses JavaScript modules, which allows for better code organization and improved code reusability. Second, it offers modern frontend build tools, such as Babel and PostCSS, for transforming and compiling assets. Third, it provides faster build times and faster runtime performance through code splitting and lazy loading. Fourth, it offers better integration with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular. Overall, Webpacker offers a more flexible and modern asset management solution for Rails applications. And while Webpacker is being retired, this initiative is to consolidate our code accordingly before moving our bundler to another solution.

This article is replace Webpacker with Simpacker and webpack.

in ruby ​​on rails 7 what is the best way to properly install Angular because I can't find any documentation about it. The only tutorial that exists uses webpacker (https://github.com/rails/webpacker) but unfortunately it is no longer supported and no longer up to date in terms of security.

From the webpacker gem:

Check this: https://github.com/rails/webpacker/issues/2825

instead of using webpacker you should move to esbuild or importmap. Webpacker has been retired a few months ago (cf https://github.com/rails/webpacker) There are videos explained how to set this up (e.g. for importmap https://learnetto.com/tutorials/how-to-use-react-with-rails-7

Took me 2 days to find this bug report: https://github.com/rails/webpacker/issues/3188 (thanks again tagliala)

But it's there in the webpacker README now, if anyone hasn't seen it. https://github.com/rails/webpacker
