react-on-rails VS 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 use this instead. It's maintained and preferred nowadays

React on Rails is an integration of React + Webpack + Rails + rails/webpacker including server-side rendering of React, enabling a better developer experience and faster client performance. 4,558 stars by now

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

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

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.

I feel like react-rails (https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails) is basically perfect for this. You just make the photo upload its own react component and render it as normal from your rails view. You basically encapsulate the small bit of complex state into a component and it doesn't infect the rest of your app with SPA.

Install react-rails gem by adding this to the Gemfile:

I think the simplest solution is using react-rails gem so that you can do everything from a single application. Using the gem, the build will be similar to normal rails app also you can utilize the react power as well.

At work we have a monolith that uses the react-rails gem. We use it like how you are describing. It's really easy and your component can be as small or big as you want.

Why not just add React to your existing app where you need it? An SPA isn't the only way to use JS frameworks in rails projects. I use Vuejs for pages with heavy interaction but I still use Rails for the initial render and routing, etc. Have you looked into something like react-rails?

I‘ve accomplished this and it’s not as hard as you think. The react-rails gem put you in the right direction: https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails
