demo VS view_component

This technique is useful in Rails if you need to assign instance variables that have the name of a model.

Here’s an example: https://github.com/rubymonolith/demo/blob/main/app/controlle...

If you want to dive straight into the source code, looking around in the controllers at https://github.com/rocketshipio/oxidizer-demo/blob/main/app/controllers/blogs_controller.rb is a good start.

When searching for examples of table components built with the ViewComponent gem, I was surprised to find none. After some inquiries, I came across examples that worked like this:

View components offer two primary ways to interact with the component: passing arguments to the initializer and using slots:

For example, splitting out views into partials? Or the new ViewComponent feature that's becoming quite popular - https://viewcomponent.org/

I used to do "pure ruby" approach to that -- but basically wound up realizing I was re-inventing github's view_component. Their design goals were similar enough to what I was trying to do, that it made more sense just to use that, rather than try to re-invent it myself.

ViewComponent

The linked one is my Rails implementation, written for ViewComponent. The official version uses Nunjucks.
