A couple of days ago, I asked about how to setup Rails using Webpacker with Docker. Here are some tips to help you do that.

• Webpacker

  54 5,310 4.1 Ruby

  Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails

  

Used this to update Rails and Webpacker to the latest

• node-gyp

  23 9,671 8.0 Python

  Node.js native addon build tool

  

Yes, add node_modules in dockerignore. You don't want to share node_modules between the host and the docker instance. In production environment, you won't have node_modules in the host machine anyway, so you can't even copy it over. And you are right. Packages like [node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp) is dependent on the OS you use, so you can't simply copy that over to Docker. Run yarn install with yarn.lock inside Docker.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• view_component

  74 3,148 9.0 Ruby

  A framework for building reusable, testable & encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails.

  

Rails has very cool stuff for frontend as well! The most recent developments are https://viewcomponent.org/ and https://hotwire.dev/
