Rendering markdown with Markdoc in Rails

• execjs

  4 512 6.5 Ruby

  Run JavaScript code from Ruby (by rails)

  

Eventually, we’ll want to call this JavaScript from a Rails controller using ExecJS or MiniRacer or some similar tool. None of the Ruby-to-JavaScript gems I found were sophisticated enough to know how to load npm modules with common.js or ES module syntax, so my solution is to just build the JavaScript with a watcher and have that run as part of bin/dev.

• mini_racer

  4 579 5.3 JavaScript

  Minimal embedded v8

I polled Twitter with a few options for a potential stack. My statistically insignificant poll shows bridgetown.rb followed closely by Markdoc + Next.js as the winners.

  A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

  

Every couple years, I can't resist yak shaving and rebuilding my personal site, cjav.dev. It’s built with 11ty. Currently, I'm just rendering long lists of links to blog posts, videos, and podcast episodes. It’s all haphazardly organized and I typically use CMD+F to find an old post that I need to reference. One benefit to the current system is how easy it is to author content and re-deploy. If I have an idea for a new blog post, I create a new markdown file and get to work. Once it’s got some words, no need to polish, I’ll commit and push which deploys the site to Netlify.
