Webpack::Rails

Webpack for Rails in hybridization or replacement way.

Advantage

Managing libraries with bundler and npm would make project more convenient and consistent.

The frontend and backend team could work together more smoothly with webpack in one project.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'golden-webpack-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Hybridization mode

In your application root path, execute generator with a perfered path name like client.

$ bundle exec rails generate webpack:install client

It will create a client path to be your webpack root path and install npm modules inside.

Start develop servers with foreman.

$ gem install foreman
$ foreman start -f Procfile.dev

See live reload web page in browser.

$ open http://localhost:4000/webpack-dev-server/

Happy coding with webpack.

It's still working on.
