## What it is
A Ruby gem that generates a JavaScript (and TypeScript definition) file exposing all Rails named routes as callable helper functions. It lets frontend code build Rails URLs without duplicating route logic.

## Use cases
- generate URLs in JavaScript from Rails routes
- share Rails route helpers with a JS frontend
- avoid hardcoding API paths in JavaScript
- get TypeScript autocompletion for Rails routes
- keep JS route links in sync with Rails routing config

## When to choose
- you have a Rails app with a JavaScript frontend that needs named route URLs
- you want route definitions to stay in sync automatically between Rails and JS
- you want typed route helpers via generated .d.ts files

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Ruby on Rails
- your frontend is fully decoupled from Rails and consumes only a fixed API
- you rely on legacy Sprockets setups without migration plans

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: routing, templating, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, backend, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
- tags: rails, ruby-gem, url-helpers, typescript-definitions, webpacker, sprockets, nodejs, web-server
