Gem


Reactssr::Rails

React SSR in Rails.

This gem is to solve one problem, that's react-rails will compile all React components in one file.

This gem will works well with webpackrails to let you use commonjs feature, and only evaluate js code as few as possible, and in production environment it will use precompiled static file instead of compiling the files again and again.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'reactssr-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install reactssr-rails

Usage

The SSR file is a js file whose name ends with ssr.js under base folder, and base folder is the folder where you put all your SSR files at, the default base folder name is components.

You can config the base folder, put this within your config/application.rb file, config.reactssr.assets_base = 'folder_name'.

react server rendering

react_ssr is a view helper just like react_component in react-rails. Here is an example how to use it:

<%= react_ssr('IndexView', {props}) %>

So, suppose the current controller_path is home, then reactssr-rails will look up a ssr file in components named home.ssr.js, just like below:

// home.ssr.js

Components.IndexView = require('./IndexView.jsx');

Make events work

Put this in your application.js: //= require react_ssr that below your Components. This scripts will remount the component on client side so the event will be working.

According to React document, if remount the component on a markup that has been mounted on the server side, the React will remount it in an efficient way on the client side.
