Phlex is a Ruby gem for building fast, object-oriented HTML and SVG view components in pure Ruby. It integrates with Rails and supports streaming, fragment caching, and selective fragment rendering.

Use cases

• build reusable view components in Ruby
• render HTML without ERB templates
• create SVG components programmatically
• integrate components into a Rails app
• stream HTML responses for faster time-to-first-byte
• prevent XSS through safe HTML construction
• cache fragments of server-rendered views

When to choose

• you want object-oriented views in pure Ruby instead of template languages
• you need fast server-side rendering with Rails
• you want testable, isolated components that depend only on passed data
• you need streaming or fragment-level rendering and caching

When to avoid

• you prefer template-based views like ERB, Haml, or Slim
• you need client-side rendering or a JavaScript component framework
• your project is not in Ruby
