Tiny Component

Tiny Component is a simple, fast, and lightweight way to organize view components in a Ruby on Rails application. It is faster and provides a better structure and logic organization compared to templates or partials.

Add this to your Gemfile and run bundle install.

gem "tiny_component"

app/components/button_component.rb

class ButtonComponent < TinyComponent::Base
  include ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper

  def initialize(text:)
    @text = text
  end
end

app/view/components/button.html.erb

<%= button_tag @text, class: "px-4 py-2 rounded-lg bg-blue-500 text-white" %>

Usage:

<%= component :button, text: "Hello" %>

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
