React + Ruby on Rails without any gems
We will use Webpacker or JavaScript compiler and assets management. By following the webpacker installation guide, let’s add Webpacker and React to our application.

Collecting JavaScript code coverage with Capybara in Ruby on Rails application
For example, there is a Ruby on Rails application that uses Webpacker and has JavaScript files that are covered by the system tests. Capybara is used as the system testing tool.
-
The Rails asset pipeline, old and new
This is done through the Webpacker::DevServerProxy which is a rack middleware that is added by Webpacker.

Asset Pipeline JS Migration
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.

How to setup ruby on rails + Angular
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.

What is the pros and cons of using Rails asset pipeline vs. webpack to hold assets?
From the webpacker gem:
-
Webpacker can’t find application.js - fix or bypass completely?

Using Rails+ReactJS with Webpacker on VS Code?
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

Security warnings for npm packages in apps with webpacker
The migration guide https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker/blob/master/docs/v6_upgrade.md looks like it's not too much work, I'll look into it. Still, I'd be interested about the security risks from using vulnerable packages for asset compilation.

Rails + Webpack with fingerprinting
and finally to help your case as well: I would take one more step and replace webpacker with shakapacker. unfortunately in rails 7 the default js / css bundling is not based on webpack and they stopped supporting the original webpacker gem. shakapacker is a maintained successor to the webpacker gem with a better approach: they don't want to force you into writing yaml configs for something that wasn't meant to be a yaml file. also, it has way better defaults than webpacker used to have. then as soon as you got access to the real webpack configs, it'll be more clear where to look or what you need to add to the project.

Ruby on Rails 7 - High-performance frontend development with Esbuild, Rollup & Vite
webpacker - Note that Webpacker has been retired, and it is not recommended for use unless you want the additional overhead and pain ;) That said, the folks over at ShakaCode are maintaining a fork named shakapacker

Where to put Javascript files in Rails 7
You should consider if you want to use Shakapacker (https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker) for more JS intensive applications, or stick to the asset pipeline of jsbundling-rails. You can compare here: https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails/blob/main/docs/comparison_with_webpacker.md

Webpacker Retired
Hey everybody, it's me Justin Gordon! I'm the maintainer of Shakapacker, the official successor to the "officially retired" Webpacker. The internal naming of Shakapacker is still webpacker. Upgrading is easy. You can see a comparison of the "new" jsbundling-rails with webpacker here: https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails/blob/main/docs/comparison_with_webpacker.md. Besides the many awesome improvements in v6 (almost all done as "Webpacker"), we've got an open PR to support SWC: https://github.com/shakacode/shakapacker/pull/29.
