Ruby on Rails Integrating React.js with Rails Using Hyperloop
Introduction
This topic covers integrating React.js with Rails using the Hyperloop gem
Other approaches not covered here are using the react-rails or react_on_rails gems.
Remarks
Component classes simply generate the equivalent javascript component classes.
You can also access javascript components and libraries directly from your ruby component classes.
Hyperloop will "prerender" the view server side so your initial view will load just like ERB or HAML templates. Once loaded on the client react takes over and will incrementally update the DOM as state changes due to inputs from the user, HTTP requests or incoming web socket data.
Besides Components, Hyperloop has Stores to manage shared state, Operations to encapsulate isomorphic business logic, and Models which give direct access to your ActiveRecord models on the client using the standard AR syntax.
