  > But what if you want to use React?

  Then just use React. There's nothing stopping you and it's well supported.

  You can use either https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails

  or https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails

  Personally would also go with a No Build set up. i.e. https://hotwire.io/ and import maps.

  I think this is more like a demo - you will not get the same features as jsbundling-rails by only following instructions in the video. For that you will need to change some other files as well. You can find out what files to be added/changed from the install script. The important bits are mostly the same as in the video, but some supplement parts are not mentioned in the video. Some people actually reported in the comment that they can't deploy such app, but I think it depends.

• at my wits' end.. please help me figure out why javascript won't work (Rails 7 with esbuild)

  I'm sorry, I didn't see that in your title. Using esbuild is 100% supported by Rails through this gem https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails. Have a look at the docs there to make sure that you're setup correctly.

• Configure Stimulus with esbuild and Babel — Rails & Javascript
  7 projects | dev.to | 26 Feb 2023

  Rails applications are bundler-agnostic. They do not care how you bundle your javascript code. It just expects whatever comes from the bundler to be placed under app/assets, so the asset pipeline processes it. We can see this in the official jsbundling-rails gem, which consists of scripts to install different bundlers and configure a default npm build command to generate our bundles—no interaction whatsoever with the Rails configuration. This black-box bundler logic allows us to change and update our bundler system without tuning any other aspect of our Rails application.

• Ruby 3.2 + Rails 7 + Tailwind + Font Awesome - should be blazing fast, yet tests very slow. 20 requests are being made. How do I make fewer requests, create fewer objects and make this simple app super fast? Production : https pickaxe dot ca. Thank you! -Dan H

  You first install your asset handlers as you need them for your project. They can be anything from rails/jsbundling-rails and rails/tailwindcss-rails to webpacker or something custom.

• Comparing Phoenix to Rails in December 2022

  The functionality comes from https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails and https://github.com/rails/cssbundling-rails -- both come with Rails 7 and all you have to do is generate your app with the choices you want such as -j esbuild --css tailwind.
