A Ruby gem that integrates React.js into Ruby on Rails applications, supporting server-side and client-side rendering with views, controllers, and asset pipelines like Sprockets, Propshaft, and Shakapacker. It allows writing React components in JSX, ES6, TypeScript, or CoffeeScript within Rails projects.

Use cases

• render React components inside Rails views
• server-side render React in a Rails app
• use JSX with the Rails asset pipeline
• mount React components via Sprockets or Shakapacker
• add React to an existing Rails monolith
• wire React components to Rails controllers and props

When to choose

• you have an existing Rails app and want to add React components incrementally
• you use Sprockets, Propshaft, or Shakapacker and want React integration
• you need simple server-side rendering of React within Rails views

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project and want active development and modern React features like Server Components - prefer React on Rails
• you need a dedicated Node-based rendering pipeline with TypeScript support
• your frontend is a separate SPA not embedded in Rails views
