Reactive Record
reactive-record gives you active-record models on the client integrated with reactrb.
"So simple its almost magic" (Amazed developer)
NOTE: reactive-record >= 0.8.x depends on the reactrb gem. You must upgrade to reactrb
You do nothing to your current active-record models except move them to the models/public directory (so they are compiled on the client as well as the server.)
- Fully integrated with Reactrb (which is React with a beautiful ruby dsl.)
- Takes advantage of React prerendering, and afterwards additional data is lazy loaded as it is needed by the client.
- Supports full CRUD access using standard Active Record features, including associations, aggregations, and errors.
- Uses model based authorization mechanism for security similar to Hobo or Pundit.
- Models and even methods within models can be selectively implemented "server-side" only.
There are no docs yet, but you may consider the test cases as a starting point, or have a look at reactrb todo (live demo here.)
For best results simply use the reactrb-rails-installer to install everything you need into a new or existing rails app.

Note: We have dropped suppport for the ability to load the same Class from two different files. If you need this functionality load the following code to your config/application.rb file.
module ::ActiveRecord
module Core
module ClassMethods
def inherited(child_class)
begin
file = Rails.root.join('app','models',"#{child_class.name.underscore}.rb").to_s rescue nil
begin
require file
rescue LoadError
end
# from active record:
child_class.initialize_find_by_cache
rescue
end # if File.exist?(Rails.root.join('app', 'view', 'models.rb'))
super
end
end
end
end
