turbo-rails VS view_component

The install notes here link to an issue specific to webpacker. Try that and see if it works?

True, in theory it is. A lot of it is coded in libraries like turbo-rails, though. And these are Rails-specific. But I've seen it being used in some Laravel projects, also I used it with Hanami.

Check out https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/blob/main/app/models/turbo/streams/tag_builder.rb

So apart from the pretty obvious question of "why on earth would you want to do this?", I think there's a misunderstanding here of the intended use case of turbo streams. You have a page, and then some state changes on the server and you want to update the page to reflect that. Incrementing a variable doesn't really qualify as a state change, but perhaps a Product changing from "not good" to "good" would be an event worth broadcasting, which you could do using the Broadcastable concern in turbo-rails.

Not mentioned in the article, but it's nice that turbo-rails recently gained the ability to pass ViewComponent objects directly to turbo stream helpers. https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/pull/433

Release notes: https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/releases/tag/v1.4.0

turbo/streams_channel.rb - a way to link a turbo stream with an ActionCable channel.

The readme seems to give a pretty good overview of turbo: https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails

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.
