Tilt::React

Use react components as view templates in Sinatra and other frameworks using Tilt.

This new imroved version uses webpack; which means both server and client side render is supported! There are helper functions which will allow single-page-like AJAX re-rendering of the page with History API integration.

Bonus feature: RSpec::React, a helpful framework for writing unit tests for the server generated HTML your components produce.

This is proof-of-concept code, there are some limitations:

  • There's some hacky code around the place (search for FIXME)
  • There aren't any tests for the actual library…

There's an example of using this library with Sinatra in the examples directory.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tilt-react'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tilt-react

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, 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 to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
