- ## React on Rails is based on Webpacker!
31
-
32
- Given that Webpacker already provides React integration, why would you use "React on Rails"? Additional features of React on Rails include:
33
-
34
- 1. Server rendering, often for SEO optimization.
35
- 2. Easy passing of props directly from your Rails view to your React components rather than having your Rails view load and then make a separate request to your API.
36
- 3. Redux and React-Router integration
37
- 4. Localization support
38
- 5. Rspec test helpers to ensure your Webpack bundles are ready for tests
39
- 6. A supportive community
40
-
41
- ----
42
-
43
- ## Steps to a New App with rails/webpacker v3 plus latest React on Rails:
44
- First be sure to run `rails -v` and check that you are using Rails 5.1.3 or above. If you are using an older version of Rails, you'll need to install webpacker with React per the instructions [here](https://github.com/rails/webpacker).

- ### Basic installation for a new Rails App
47
- *See below for steps on an existing Rails app*
11
+ # Intro
48
12
 
49
- 1. New Rails app: `rails new my-app --webpack=react`. `cd` into the directory.
50
- 2. Add gem version: `gem 'react_on_rails', '11.0.0' # Use the exact gem version to match npm version`
51
- 3. `bundle install`
52
- 4. Commit this to git (or else you cannot run the generator unless you pass the option --ignore-warnings).
53
- 5. Run the generator: `rails generate react_on_rails:install`
54
- 6. Start the app: `rails s`
55
- 7. Visit http://localhost:3000/hello_world
13
+ ## Project Objective
56
14
 
57
- ### Turn on server rendering
15
+ To provide an opinionated and optimal framework for integrating Ruby on Rails with React via the [**Webpacker**](https://github.com/rails/webpacker) gem.
58
16
 
59
- 1. Edit `app/views/hello_world/index.html.erb` and set `prerender` to `true`.
60
- 2. Refresh the page.
17
+ ## Features and Why React on Rails?
61
18
 
62
- This is the line where you turn server rendering on by setting prerender to true:
19
+ Given that rails/webpacker gem already provides basic React integration, why would you use "React on Rails"? Server rendering, often used for SEO and performance, is not offered by rails/webpacker.
63
20
 
64
- ```
65
- <%= react_component("HelloWorld", props: @hello_world_props, prerender: false) %>
66
- ```
21
+ 1. The easy passing of props directly from your Rails view to your React components rather than having your Rails view load and then make a separate 1request to your API.
22
+ 1. [Redux](https://github.com/reactjs/redux) and [React Router](https://github.com/reactjs/react-router) integration.
23
+ 1. [Internationalization (I18n) and (localization)](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/blob/master/docs/basics/i18n.md)
24
+ 1. [RSpec Test Helpers Configuration](docs/basics/rspec-configuration.md) to ensure your Webpack bundles are ready for tests.
25
+ 1. A supportive community. This [web search shows how live public sites are using React on Rails](https://publicwww.com/websites/%22react-on-rails%22++-undeveloped.com/).

- ## Features
145
- Like the [react-rails](https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails) gem, React on Rails is capable of server-side rendering with fragment caching and is compatible with [turbolinks](https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks). While the initial setup is slightly more involved, it allows for advanced functionality such as:
146
-
147
- + [Redux](https://github.com/reactjs/redux)
148
- + [Webpack optimization functionality](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/optimization)
149
- + [React Router](https://github.com/reactjs/react-router)
33
+ React on Rails Pro provides Node server rendering and other performance enhancements for React on Rails. It's live at [egghead.io](https://egghead.io). See the [React on Rails Pro Docs](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/wiki).
150
34
 
151
- See the [react-webpack-rails-tutorial](https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial) for an example of a live implementation and code.
35
+ The [React on Rails Pro Support Plan](http://www.shakacode.com/work/shakacode-pro-support.pdf) can help you with:
152
36
 
153
- ## Why Webpack?
37
+ * Optimizing your webpack setup to Webpack v4 for React on Rails including code splitting with react-router v4, webpack v4, and react-loadable.
38
+ * Upgrading your app to use the current Webpack setup that skips the Sprockets asset pipeline.
39
+ * Better performance client and server side.
40
+ * Efficiently migrating from [Angular to React](https://www.shakacode.com/services/angular-to-react/).
41
+ * Best practices based on four years of React on Rails experience.
154

155
- Webpack is used to generate JavaScript and CSS "bundles" directly to your `/public` directory. [webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker) provides view helpers to access the Webpack generated (and fingerprinted) JS and CSS. These files totally skip the Rails asset pipeline. You are responsible for properly processing your Webpack output via the Webpack config files.
43
+ ShakaCode can also help you with your Rails, JavaScript, and React-Native development needs. We build custom web and mobile applications. Because we own [HawaiiChee.com](https://www.hawaiichee.com), we can leverage that code for your app!
156
44
 
157
- This usage of webpack fits neatly and simply into existing Rails apps. You can include React components on a Rails view with a simple helper.
45
+ The article [Why Hire ShakaCode?](https://blog.shakacode.com/can-shakacode-help-you-4a5b1e5a8a63#.jex6tg9w9) provides additional details about our projects.
158
46
 
159
- Compare this to some alternative approaches for SPAs (Single Page Apps) that utilize Webpack and Rails. They will use a separate node server to distribute web pages, JavaScript assets, CSS, etc., and will still use Rails as an API server. A good example of this is our ShakaCode team member Alex's article [
160
- Universal React with Rails: Part I](https://medium.com/@alexfedoseev/isomorphic-react-with-rails-part-i-440754e82a59).

- ## Webpack Configuration: custom setup for Webpack or rails/webpacker?
50
+ ## Testimonials for Hiring ShakaCode and our "Pro Support"
163
51
 
164
- Version 9 of React on Rails added support for the rails/webpacker view helpers so that Webpack produced assets would no longer pass through the Rails asset pipeline. As part of this change, React on Rails added a configuration option to support customization of the node_modules directory. This allowed React on Rails to support the rails/webpacker configuration of the Webpack configuration.
52
+ From Kyle Maune of Cooper Aerial, May 4, 2018
165
53
 
166
- A key decision in your use React on Rails is whether you go with the rails/webpacker default setup or the traditional React on Rails setup of putting all your client side files under the `/client` directory. While there are technically 2 independent choices involved, the directory structure and the mechanism of Webpack configuration, for simplicity sake we'll assume that these choices go together.
54
+ ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1118459/40891236-9b0b406e-671d-11e8-80ee-c026dbd1d5a2.png)

168
- ### Traditional React on Rails using the /client directory
56
+ From Joel Hooks, Co-Founder, Chief Nerd at [egghead.io](https://egghead.io/), January 30, 2017:
169
57
 
170
- Until version 9, all React on Rails apps used the `/client` directory for configuring React on Rails in terms of the configuration of Webpack and location of your JavaScript and Webpack files, including the node_modules directory. Version 9 changed the default to `/` for the `node_modules` location using this value in `config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb`: `config.node_modules_location`.
58
+ ![2017-01-30_11-33-59](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1118459/22443635/b3549fb4-e6e3-11e6-8ea2-6f589dc93ed3.png)
171
59
 
172
- The [ShakaCode Team](http://www.shakacode.com) _recommends_ this approach for projects beyond the simplest cases as it provides the greatest transparency in your webpack and overall client-side setup. The *big advantage* to this is that almost everything within the `/client` directory will apply if you wish to convert your client-side code to a pure Single Page Application that runs without Rails. This allows you to google for how to do something with Webpack configuration and what applies to a non-Rails app will apply just as well to a React on Rails app.

- The two best examples of this patten are the [react-webpack-rails-tutorial](https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial) and the integration test example in [spec/dummy](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy).

- ### rails/webpacker Setup
68
+ ## Prerequisites
180
69
 
181
- Typical rails/webpacker apps have a standard directory structure as documented [here](https://github.com/rails/webpacker/blob/master/docs/folder-structure.md). If you follow the steps in the the [basic tutorial](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/blob/master/docs/tutorial.md), you will see this pattern in action. In order to customize the Webpack configuration, you need to consult with the [rails/webpacker Webpack configuration](https://github.com/rails/webpacker/blob/master/docs/webpack.md).
70
+ React on Rails supports older versions of Rails back to 3.x. Rails/webpacker requires version 4.2+.
182
71
 
183
- Version 9 made this the default for generated apps for 2 reasons:
72
+ ## Getting Started
184
73
 
185
- 1. It's less code to generate and thus less to explain.
186
- 2. `rails/webpacker` might be viewed as a convention in the Rails community.
74
+ Note, the best way to understand how to use ReactOnRails is to study a few simple examples. You can do a quick demo setup, either on your existing app or on a new Rails app.
187
75
 
188
- The *advantage* of this is that there is very little code needed to get started and you don't need to understand really anything about Webpack customization. The *big disadvantage* to this is that you will need to learn the ins and outs of the [rails/webpacker way to customize Webpack](https://github.com/rails/webpacker/blob/master/docs/webpack.md) which differs from the plain [Webpack way](https://webpack.js.org/).
76
+ 1. Do the quick [tutorial](docs/tutorial.md).
77
+ 2. Add React on Rails to an existing Rails app per [the instructions](docs/basics/installation-into-an-existing-rails-app.md).
78
+ 3. Look at [spec/dummy](spec/dummy), a simple, no DB example.
79
+ 3. Look at [github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial](https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial); it's a full featured example live at [www.reactrails.com](http://www.reactrails.com).
189
80
 
190
- Overall, consider carefully if you prefer the `rails/webpacker` directory structure and Webpack configuration, over the placement of all client side files within the `/client` directory along with conventional Webpack configuration.
81
+ ## Basic Installation
191

86
 
195
- ## Getting Started with an existing Rails app
87
+ ``````bash
88
+ $ rails new my-app --webpack=react
89
+ $ cd my-app
90
+ ``````
196
91
 
197
- **For more detailed instructions on a fresh Rails app**, see the [React on Rails Basic Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md).
92
+ 2. Add the `react_on_rails` gem to Gemfile:
198
93
 
199
- **If you have rails-5 API only project**, first [convert the rails-5 API only app to rails app](#convert-rails-5-api-only-app-to-rails-app) before [getting started](#getting-started-with-an-existing-rails-app).
200
- 1. Add the following to your Gemfile and `bundle install`. We recommend fixing the version of React on Rails, as you will need to keep the exact version in sync with the version in your `client/package.json` file.
94
+ ```ruby
95
+ gem 'react_on_rails', '11.0.9' # Use the exact gem version to match npm version
96
+ ```
201
97
 
202
- ```ruby
203
- gem "react_on_rails", "11.0.0"
204
- gem "webpacker", "~> 3.0"
205
- ```
98
+ 3. Install the `react_on_rails` gem:
206
99
 
207
- 2. Run the following 2 commands to install Webpacker with React:
100
+ ```bash

217
111
 
218
- ```bash
219
- rails generate react_on_rails:install --help
220
- ```
112
+ 6. Start the app:
221
113
 
222
- 4. Run the generator with a simple "Hello World" example (more options below):
114
+ ```bash
115
+ $ rails s

229
122
 
230
- 7. Start your Rails server:
123

231
124
 
232
- ```bash
233
- foreman start -f Procfile.dev
234
- ```
125
+ 1. Edit `app/views/hello_world/index.html.erb` and set `prerender` to `true`.
126
+ 2. Refresh the page.
235
127
 
236
- 8. Visit [localhost:3000/hello_world](http://localhost:3000/hello_world). Note: `foreman` defaults to PORT 5000 unless you set the value of PORT in your environment. For example, you can `export PORT=3000` to use the Rails default port of 3000. For the hello_world example this is already set.

139
+ * Configure `config/webpacker.yml`. If you used the generator and the default webpacker setup, you don't need to touch this file. If you are customizing your setup, then consult the [spec/dummy/config/webpacker.yml](./spec/dummy/config/webpacker.yml) example
140
+ * Set `compile: false` for all envs
141
+ * Your `public_output_path` must match your Webpack configuration for `output` of your bundles.
142
+ * Only set `cache_manifest` to `true` in your production env.

282
-
283
- You can enable the i18n functionality with [react-intl](https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl).
284
-
285
- React on Rails provides an option for automatic conversions of Rails `*.yml` locale files into `*.js` files for `react-intl`.
286
-
287
- See the [How to add I18n](docs/basics/i18n.md) for a summary of adding I18n.
288
-
289
- ### Convert rails-5 API only app to rails app
290
-
291
- 1. Go to the directory where you created your app
292
-
293
- ```
294
- rails new your-current-app-name
295
- ```
296
-
297
- Rails will start creating the app and will skip the files you have already created. If there is some conflict then it will stop and you need to resolve it manually. be careful at this step as it might replace you current code in conflicted files.
298
-
299
- 2. Resolve conflicts
300
-
301
- ```
302
- 1. Press "d" to see the difference
303
- 2. If it is only adding lines then press "y" to continue
304
- 3. If it is removeing some of your code then press "n" and add all additions manually
305
- ```
306
-
307
- 3. Run `bundle install` and follow [Getting started](#getting-started-with-an-existing-rails-app)
308
-
309
-
310
- ### NPM
311
- All JavaScript in React On Rails is loaded from npm: [react-on-rails](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-on-rails). To manually install this (you did not use the generator), assuming you have a standard configuration, run this command (assuming you are in the directory where you have your `node_modules`):
312
-
313
- ```bash
314
- yarn add react-on-rails --exact
315
- ```
316
-
317
- That will install the latest version and update your package.json. **NOTE:** the `--exact` flag will ensure that you do not have a "~" or "^" for your react-on-rails version in your package.json.
318
-
319
- ### Webpacker Configuration
320
-
321
- React on Rails users should set configuration value `compile` to false, as React on Rails handles compilation for test and production environments.
322
-
323
- ## How it Works
324
- The generator installs your webpack files in the `client` folder. Foreman uses webpack to compile your code and output the bundled results to `app/assets/webpack`, which are then loaded by sprockets. These generated bundle files have been added to your `.gitignore` for your convenience.
325
-
326
- Inside your Rails views, you can now use the `react_component` helper method provided by React on Rails. You can pass props directly to the react component helper. You can also initialize a Redux store with view or controller helper `redux_store` so that the store can be shared amongst multiple React components. See the docs for `redux_store` below and scan the code inside of the [/spec/dummy](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy) sample app.
327
-
328
- ### Client-Side Rendering vs. Server-Side Rendering
329
- In most cases, you should use the `prerender: false` (default behavior) with the provided helper method to render the React component from your Rails views. In some cases, such as when SEO is vital, or many users will not have JavaScript enabled, you can enable server-rendering by passing `prerender: true` to your helper, or you can simply change the default in `config/initializers/react_on_rails`.
330
-
331
- Now the server will interpret your JavaScript using [ExecJS](https://github.com/rails/execjs) and pass the resulting HTML to the client. We recommend using [mini_racer](https://github.com/discourse/mini_racer) as ExecJS's runtime. The generator will automatically add it to your Gemfile for you (once we complete [#501](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/issues/501)).
332
-
333
- If you open the HTML source of any web page using React on Rails, you'll see the 3 parts of React on Rails rendering:
334
-
335
- 1. A script tag containing the properties of the React component, such as the registered name and any props. A JavaScript function runs after the page loads, using this data to build and initialize your React components.
336
- 2. The wrapper div `<div id="HelloWorld-react-component-0">` specifies the div where to place the React rendering. It encloses the server-rendered HTML for the React component.
337
- 3. Additional JavaScript is placed to console-log any messages, such as server rendering errors. Note: these server side logs can be configured only to be sent to the server logs.
338
-
339
- **Note**:
340
-
341
- * If server rendering is not used (prerender: false), then the major difference is that the HTML rendered for the React component only contains the outer div: `<div id="HelloWorld-react-component-0"/>`. The first specification of the React component is just the same.
342
-
343
- ### Building the Bundles
344
- Each time you change your client code, you will need to re-generate the bundles (the webpack-created JavaScript files included in application.js). The included Foreman `Procfile.dev` will take care of this for you by starting a webpack process with the watch flag. This will watch your JavaScript code files for changes. Simply run `foreman start -f Procfile.dev`.
345
-
346
- On production deployments that use asset precompilation, such as Heroku deployments, React on Rails, by default, will automatically run webpack to build your JavaScript bundles. You can see the source code for what gets added to your precompilation [here](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/lib/tasks/assets.rake). For more information on this topic, see [the doc on Heroku deployment](./docs/additional-reading/heroku-deployment.md#more-details-on-precompilation-using-webpack-to-create-javascript-assets).
347
-
348
- If you have used the provided generator, these bundles will automatically be added to your `.gitignore` to prevent extraneous noise from re-generated code in your pull requests. You will want to do this manually if you do not use the provided generator.
349
-
350
-
351
- ### Generator Functions
352
- You have 2 ways to specify your React components. You can either register the React component directly, or you can create a function that returns a React component. Creating a function has the following benefits:
353
-
354
- 1. You have access to the `railsContext`. See documentation for the railsContext in terms of why you might need it. You **need** a generator function to access the `railsContext`.
355
- 1. You can use the passed-in props to initialize a redux store or set up react-router.
356
- 1. You can return different components depending on what's in the props.
357
-
358
- ReactOnRails will automatically detect a registered generator function. Thus, there is no difference between registering a React Component versus a "generator function."
359
-
360
- #### react_component_hash for Generator Functions
361
- Another reason to use a generator function is that sometimes in server rendering, specifically with React Router, you need to return the result of calling ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element). You can do this by returning an object with the following shape: { renderedHtml, redirectLocation, error }. Make sure you use this function with `react_component_hash`.
362
-
363
- For server rendering, if you wish to return multiple HTML strings from a generator function, you may return an Object from your generator function with a single top level property of `renderedHtml`. Inside this Object, place a key called `componentHtml`, along with any other needed keys. An example scenario of this is when you are using side effects libraries like [React Helmet](https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet). Your Ruby code will get this Object as a Hash containing keys componentHtml and any other custom keys that you added:
364
-
365
- ```js
366
- { renderedHtml: { componentHtml, customKey1, customKey2} }
367
- ```
368
-
369
- For details on using react_component_hash with react-helmet, see the docs below for the helper API and [docs/additional-reading/react-helmet.md](../docs/additional-reading/react-helmet.md).
370
-
371
- ### Rails Context and Generator Functions
372
- When you use a "generator function" to create react components (or renderedHtml on the server), or you used shared redux stores, you get two params passed to your function that creates a React component:
373
-
374
- 1. `props`: Props that you pass in the view helper of either `react_component` or `redux_store`
375
- 2. `railsContext`: Rails contextual information, such as the current pathname. You can customize this in your config file. **Note**: The `railsContext` is not related to the concept of a ["context" for React components](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/context.html#how-to-use-context).
376
-
377
- This parameters (`props` and `railsContext`) will be the same regardless of either client or server side rendering, except for the key `serverSide` based on whether or not you are server rendering.
378
-
379
- While you could manually configure your Rails code to pass the "`railsContext` information" with the rest of your "props", the `railsContext` is a convenience because it's passed consistently to all invocations of generator functions.
380
-
381
- For example, suppose you create a "generator function" called MyAppComponent.
382
-
383
- ```js
384
- import React from 'react';
385
- const MyAppComponent = (props, railsContext) => (
386
- <div>
387
- <p>props are: {JSON.stringify(props)}</p>
388
- <p>railsContext is: {JSON.stringify(railsContext)}
389
- </p>
390
- </div>
391
- );
392
- export default MyAppComponent;
393
- ```
394
-
395
- *Note: you will get a React browser console warning if you try to serverRender this since the value of `serverSide` will be different for server rendering.*
396
-
397
- So if you register your generator function `MyAppComponent`, it will get called like:
398
-
399
- ```js
400
- reactComponent = MyAppComponent(props, railsContext);
401
- ```
402
-
403
- and, similarly, any redux store always initialized with 2 parameters:
404
-
405
- ```js
406
- reduxStore = MyReduxStore(props, railsContext);
407
- ```
408
-
409
- Note: you never make these calls. React on Rails makes these calls when it does either client or server rendering. You will define functions that take these 2 params and return a React component or a Redux Store. Naturally, you do not have to use second parameter of the railsContext if you do not need it.
192
+ ## Fragment Caching
410
193
 
411
- (Note: see below [section](#multiple-react-components-on-a-page-with-one-store) on how to setup redux stores that allow multiple components to talk to the same store.)
194
+ Fragment caching is a [React on Rails Pro](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/wiki) feature. Fragment caching is a **HUGE** performance booster for your apps. Use the `cached_react_component` and `cached_react_component_hash`. The API is the same as `react_component` and `react_component_hash`, but for 2 differences:
412
195
 
413
- The `railsContext` has: (see implementation in file [react_on_rails_helper.rb](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/app/helpers/react_on_rails_helper.rb), method `rails_context` for the definitive list).
196
+ 1. The `cache_key` takes the same parameters as any Rails `cache` view helper.
197
+ 1. The **props** are passed via a block so that evaluation of the props is not done unless the cache is broken. Suppose you put your props calculation into some method called `some_slow_method_that_returns_props`:
414
198
 
415
199
  ```ruby
416
- {
417
- railsEnv: Rails.env
418
- # URL settings
419
- href: request.original_url,
420
- location: "#{uri.path}#{uri.query.present? ? "?#{uri.query}": ""}",

434
- #### Why the railsContext is only passed to generator functions
435
- There's no reason that the railsContext would ever get passed to your React component unless the value is explicitly put into the props used for rendering. If you create a react component, rather than a generator function, for use by React on Rails, then you get whatever props are passed in from the view helper, which **does not include the Rails Context**. It's trivial to wrap your component in a "generator function" to return a new component that takes both:
436
-
437
- ```js
438
- import React from 'react';
439
- import AppComponent from './AppComponent';
440
- const AppComponentWithRailsContext = (props, railsContext) => (
441
- <AppComponent {...{...props, railsContext}}/>
442
- )
443
- export default AppComponentWithRailsContext;
444
- ```
445
-
446
- Consider this line in depth:
447
-
448
- ```js
449
- <AppComponent {...{ ...props, railsContext }}/>
200
+ <%= cached_react_component("App", cache_key: [@user, @post], prerender: true) do
201
+ some_slow_method_that_returns_props
202
+ end %>
450
203
  ```
451
204
 
452
- The outer `{...` is for the [JSX spread operator for attributes](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html#spread-attributes) and the innner `{...` is for the [Spread in object literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator#Spread_in_object_literals).
453
-
454
- #### Use Cases
455
- ##### Heroku Preboot Considerations
456
- [Heroku Preboot](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/preboot) is a feature on Heroku that allows for faster deploy times. When you promote your staging app to production, Preboot simply switches the production server to point at the staging app's container. This means it can deploy much faster since it doesn't have to rebuild anything. However, this means that if you use the [Define Plugin](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/list-of-plugins#defineplugin) to provide the rails environment to your client code as a variable, that variable will erroneously still have a value of `Staging` instead of `Production`. The `Rails.env` provided at runtime in the railsContext is, however, accurate.
457
-
458
- ##### Needing the current URL path for server rendering
459
- Suppose you want to display a nav bar with the current navigation link highlighted by the URL. When you server-render the code, your code will need to know the current URL/path. The new `railsContext` has this information. Your application will apply something like an "active" class on the server rendering.
460
-
461
- ##### Configuring different code for server side rendering
462
- Suppose you want to turn off animation when doing server side rendering. The `serverSide` value is just what you need.
463
-
464
- #### Customization of the rails_context
465
- You can customize the values passed in the `railsContext` in your `config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb`. Here's how.
205
+ Such fragment caching saves a ton of CPU work for your web server and greatly reduces the request time. It completely skips the evaluation costs of:
466
206
 
467
- Set the config value for the `rendering_extension`:
207
+ 1. Database calls to compute the props.
208
+ 2. Serialization the props values hash into a JSON string for evaluating JavaScript to server render.
209
+ 3. Costs associated with evaluating JavaScript from your Ruby code.
210
+ 4. Creating the HTML string containing the props and the server-rendered JavaScript code.
468
211
 
469
- ```ruby
470
- config.rendering_extension = RenderingExtension
471
- ```
472
-
473
- Implement it like this above in the same file. Create a class method on the module called `custom_context` that takes the `view_context` for a param.
212
+ Note, even without server rendering (without step 3 above), fragment caching is still effective.
213
+
214
+ ## Integration with Node.js for Server Rendering
474
215
 
475
- See [spec/dummy/config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy/config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb) for a detailed example.
216
+ Default server rendering is done by ExecJS. If you want to use a Node.js server for better performing server rendering, [email justin@shakacode.com](mailto:justin@shakacode.com). ShakaCode has built a premium Node rendering server that is part of [React on Rails Pro](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/wiki).
476
217
 
477
- ```ruby
478
- module RenderingExtension
479
-
480
- # Return a Hash that contains custom values from the view context that will get merged with
481
- # the standard rails_context values and passed to all calls to generator functions used by the
482
- # react_component and redux_store view helpers
483
- def self.custom_context(view_context)
484
- {
485
- somethingUseful: view_context.session[:something_useful]
486
- }
487
- end
488
- end
489
- ```
218
+ ## Globally Exposing Your React Components
490
219
 
491
- In this case, a prop and value for `somethingUseful` will go into the railsContext passed to all react_component and redux_store calls. You may set any values available in the view rendering context.
220
+ For the React on Rails view helper `react_component` to use your React components, you will have to **register** them in your JavaScript code.
492
221
 
493
- ### Globally Exposing Your React Components
494
- Place your JavaScript code inside of the default `app/javascript` folder. Use modules just as you would when using webpack alone. The difference here is that instead of mounting React components directly to an element using `React.render`, you **register your components to ReactOnRails and then mount them with helpers inside of your Rails views**.
222
+ Use modules just as you would when using Webpack and React without Rails. The difference is that instead of mounting React components directly to an element using `React.render`, you **register your components to ReactOnRails and then mount them with helpers inside of your Rails views**.
495
223
 
496
224
  This is how to expose a component to the `react_component` view helper.
497
225
 
498
- ```javascript
226
+ ```javascript
499
227
  // app/javascript/packs/hello-world-bundle.js
500
228
  import HelloWorld from '../components/HelloWorld';
501
229
  import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
502
230
  ReactOnRails.register({ HelloWorld });
503
- ```
504
-
505
- #### Different Server-Side Rendering Code (and a Server Specific Bundle)
506
-
507
- You may want different initialization for your server-rendered components. For example, if you have an animation that runs when a component is displayed, you might need to turn that off when server rendering. However, the `railsContext` will tell you if your JavaScript code is running client side or server side. So code that required a different server bundle previously may no longer require this. Note, check if `window` is defined has a similar effect.
508
-
509
- If you want different code to run, you'd set up a separate webpack compilation file and you'd specify a different, server side entry file. ex. 'serverHelloWorld.jsx'. Note: you might be initializing HelloWorld with version specialized for server rendering.
510
-
511
- #### Renderer Functions
512
- A renderer function is a generator function that accepts three arguments: `(props, railsContext, domNodeId) => { ... }`. Instead of returning a React component, a renderer is responsible for calling `ReactDOM.render` to render a React component into the dom. Why would you want to call `ReactDOM.render` yourself? One possible use case is [code splitting](./docs/additional-reading/code-splitting.md).
513
-
514
- Renderer functions are not meant to be used on the server since there's no DOM on the server. Instead, use a generator function. Attempting to server render with a renderer function will cause an error.
515
-
516
- ## ReactOnRails View Helpers API
517
- Once the bundled files have been generated in your `app/assets/webpack` folder and you have registered your components, you will want to render these components on your Rails views using the included helper method, `react_component`.
518
-
519
- ### react_component
520
- ```ruby
521
- react_component(component_name,
522
- props: {},
523
- prerender: nil,
524
- trace: nil,
525
- replay_console: nil,
526
- raise_on_prerender_error: nil,
527
- id: nil,
528
- html_options: {})
529
- ```
530
-
531
- + **component_name:** Can be a React component, created using an ES6 class or a generator function that returns a React component (or, only on the server side, an object with shape { redirectLocation, error, renderedHtml }), or a "renderer function" that manually renders a React component to the dom (client side only).
532
- All options except `props, id, html_options` will inherit from your `react_on_rails.rb` initializer, as described [here](./docs/basics/configuration.md).
533
-
534
- + **general options:**
535
- + **props:** Ruby Hash which contains the properties to pass to the react object, or a JSON string. If you pass a string, we'll escape it for you.
536
- + **prerender:** enable server-side rendering of a component. Set to false when debugging!
537
- + **id:** Id for the div, will be used to attach the React component. This will get assigned automatically if you do not provide an id. Must be unique.
538
- + **html_options:** Any other HTML options get placed on the added div for the component. For example, you can set a class (or inline style) on the outer div so that it behaves like a span, with the styling of `display:inline-block`.
539
- + **trace:** set to true to print additional debugging information in the browser. Defaults to true for development, off otherwise. Only on the **client side** will you will see the `railsContext` and your props.
540
- + **options if prerender (server rendering) is true:**
541
- + **replay_console:** Default is true. False will disable echoing server-rendering logs to the browser. While this can make troubleshooting server rendering difficult, so long as you have the configuration of `logging_on_server` set to true, you'll still see the errors on the server.
542
- + **logging_on_server:** Default is true. True will log JS console messages and errors to the server.
543
- + **raise_on_prerender_error:** Default is false. True will throw an error on the server side rendering. Your controller will have to handle the error.
544
-
545
- Note: client hydration will not trigger for components rendered through XHR. You will have to handle it with javascript.
546
- For an example, see [spec/dummy/app/views/pages/xhr_refresh.rb](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy/app/views/pages/xhr_refresh.rb).
547
-
548
- ### react_component_hash
549
- `react_component_hash` is used to return multiple HTML strings for server rendering, such as for
550
- adding meta-tags to a page. It is exactly like react_component except for the following:
551
-
552
- 1. `prerender: true` is automatically added to options, as this method doesn't make sense for
553
- client only rendering.
554
- 2. Your JavaScript for server rendering must return an Object for the key `server_rendered_html`.
555
- 3. Your view code must expect an object and not a string.
556
-
557
- Here is an example of ERB view code:
558
-
559
- ```erb
560
- <% react_helmet_app = react_component_hash("ReactHelmetApp", prerender: true,
561
- props: { helloWorldData: { name: "Mr. Server Side Rendering"}},
562
- id: "react-helmet-0", trace: true) %>
563
- <% content_for :title do %>
564
- <%= react_helmet_app['title'] %>
565
- <% end %>
566
- <%= react_helmet_app["componentHtml"] %>
567
- ```
568
-
569
- And here is the JavaScript code:
570
-
571
- ```js
572
- export default (props, _railsContext) => {
573
- const componentHtml = renderToString(<ReactHelmet {...props} />);
574
- const helmet = Helmet.renderStatic();
575
-
576
- const renderedHtml = {
577
- componentHtml,
578
- title: helmet.title.toString(),
579
- };
580
- return { renderedHtml };
581
- };
582
-
583
- ```
584
-
585
- ### redux_store
586
- #### Controller Extension
587
- Include the module `ReactOnRails::Controller` in your controller, probably in ApplicationController. This will provide the following controller method, which you can call in your controller actions:
588
-
589
- `redux_store(store_name, props: {})`
590
-
591
- + **store_name:** A name for the store. You'll refer to this name in 2 places in your JavaScript:
592
- 1. You'll call `ReactOnRails.registerStore({storeName})` in the same place that you register your components.
593
- 2. In your component definition, you'll call `ReactOnRails.getStore('storeName')` to get the hydrated Redux store to attach to your components.
594
- + **props:** Named parameter `props`. ReactOnRails takes care of setting up the hydration of your store with props from the view.
595
-
596
- For an example, see [spec/dummy/app/controllers/pages_controller.rb](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy/app/controllers/pages_controller.rb). Note: this is preferable to using the equivalent view_helper `redux_store` in that you can be assured that the store is initialized before your components.
597
-
598
- #### View Helper
599
- `redux_store(store_name, props: {})`
600
-
601
- This method has the same API as the controller extension. **HOWEVER**, we recommend the controller extension instead because the Rails executes the template code in the controller action's view file (`erb`, `haml`, `slim`, etc.) before the layout. So long as you call `redux_store` at the beginning of your action's view file, this will work. However, it's an easy mistake to put this call in the wrong place. Calling `redux_store` in the controller action ensures proper load order, regardless of where you call this in the controller action. Note: you won't know of this subtle ordering issue until you server render and you find that your store is not hydrated properly.
602
-
603
- `redux_store_hydration_data`
604
-
605
- Place this view helper (no parameters) at the end of your shared layout so ReactOnRails will render the redux store hydration data. Since we're going to be setting up the stores in the controllers, we need to know where on the view to put the client-side rendering of this hydration data, which is a hidden div with a matching class that contains a data props. For an example, see [spec/dummy/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/tree/master/spec/dummy/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb).
606
-
607
- #### Redux Store Notes
608
- Note: you don't need to initialize your redux store. You can pass the props to your React component in a "generator function." However, consider using the `redux_store` helper for the two following use cases:
609
-
610
- 1. You want to have multiple React components accessing the same store at once.
611
- 2. You want to place the props to hydrate the client side stores at the very end of your HTML so that the browser can render all earlier HTML first. This is particularly useful if your props will be large.
612
-
613
- ### server_render_js
614
- `server_render_js(js_expression, options = {})`
615
-
616
- + js_expression, like 2 + 3, and not a block of js code. If you have more than one line that needs to be executed, wrap it in an [IIFE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediately-invoked_function_expression). JS exceptions will be caught, and console messages will be handled properly
617
- + Currently, the only option you may pass is `replay_console` (boolean)
618
-
619
- This is a helper method that takes any JavaScript expression and returns the output from evaluating it. If you have more than one line that needs to be executed, wrap it in an IIFE. JS exceptions will be caught and console messages handled properly.
620
-
621
- ## Multiple React Components on a Page with One Store
622
- You may wish to have 2 React components share the same the Redux store. For example, if your navbar is a React component, you may want it to use the same store as your component in the main area of the page. You may even want multiple React components in the main area, which allows for greater modularity. Also, you may want this to work with Turbolinks to minimize reloading the JavaScript. A good example of this would be something like a notifications counter in a header. As each notification is read in the body of the page, you would like to update the header. If both the header and body share the same Redux store, then this is trivial. Otherwise, we have to rely on other solutions, such as the header polling the server to see how many unread notifications exist.
623
-
624
- Suppose the Redux store is called `appStore`, and you have 3 React components that each needs to connect to a store: `NavbarApp`, `CommentsApp`, and `BlogsApp`. I named them with `App` to indicate that they are the registered components.
625
-
626
- You will need to make a function that can create the store you will be using for all components and register it via the `registerStore` method. Note: this is a **storeCreator**, meaning that it is a function that takes (props, location) and returns a store:
627
-
628
- ```js
629
- function appStore(props, railsContext) {
630
- // Create a hydrated redux store, using props and the railsContext (object with
631
- // Rails contextual information).
632
- return myAppStore;
633
- }
634
-
635
- ReactOnRails.registerStore({
636
- appStore
637
- });
638
231
  ```
639
232
 
640
- When registering your component with React on Rails, you can get the store via `ReactOnRails.getStore`:
233
+ #### Different Server-Side Rendering Code (and a Server-Specific Bundle)
641
234
 
642
- ```js
643
- // getStore will initialize the store if not already initialized, so creates or retrieves store
644
- const appStore = ReactOnRails.getStore("appStore");
645
- return (
646
- <Provider store={appStore}>
647
- <CommentsApp />
648
- </Provider>
649
- );
650
- ```
235
+ You may want different initialization for your server-rendered components. For example, if you have an animation that runs when a component is displayed, you might need to turn that off when server rendering. However, the `railsContext` will tell you if your JavaScript code is running client side or server side. So code that required a different server bundle previously may no longer require this. Note, checking if `window` is defined has a similar effect.
651
236
 
652
- From your Rails view, you can use the provided helper `redux_store(store_name, props)` to create a fresh version of the store (because it may already exist if you came from visiting a previous page). Note: for this example, since we're initializing this from the main layout, we're using a generic name of `@react_props`. In other words, the Rails controller would set `@react_props` to the properties to hydrate the Redux store.
237
+ If you want different code to run, you will set up a separate webpack compilation file and you will specify a different, server side entry file. ex. 'serverHelloWorld.jsx'. Note: you might be initializing HelloWorld with version specialized for server rendering.
653
238
 
654
- **app/views/layouts/application.html.erb**
655
- ```erb
656
- ...
657
- <%= redux_store("appStore", props: @react_props) %>;
658
- <%= react_component("NavbarApp") %>
659
- yield
660
- ...
661
- ```
239
+ ## Specifying Your React Components: Direct or Generator Functions
662
240
 
663
- Components are created as [stateless function(al) components](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/reusable-components.html#stateless-functions). Since you can pass in initial props via the helper `redux_store`, you do not need to pass any props directly to the component. Instead, the component hydrates by connecting to the store.
241
+ You have two ways to specify your React components. You can either register the React component directly, or you can create a function that returns a React component. Creating a function has the following benefits:
664
242
 
665
- **_comments.html.erb**
666
- ```erb
667
- <%= react_component("CommentsApp") %>
668
- ```
669
-
670
- **_blogs.html.erb**
671
- ```erb
672
- <%= react_component("BlogsApp") %>
673
- ```
243
+ 1. You have access to the `railsContext`. See documentation for the railsContext in terms of why you might need it. You **need** a generator function to access the `railsContext`.
244
+ 2. You can use the passed-in props to initialize a redux store or set up react-router.
245
+ 3. You can return different components depending on what's in the props.
674
246
 
675
- *Note:* You will not be doing any partial updates to the Redux store when loading a new page. When the page content loads, React on Rails will rehydrate a new version of the store with whatever props are placed on the page.
247
+ ReactOnRails will automatically detect a registered generator function. Thus, there is no difference between registering a React Component versus a "generator function."
676

- See [ReactOnRails JavaScript API](docs/api/javascript-api.md).
249
+ ## react_component_hash for Generator Functions
679
250
 
680
- #### Using Rails built-in CSRF protection in JavaScript
251
+ Another reason to use a generator function is that sometimes in server rendering, specifically with React Router, you need to return the result of calling ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element). You can do this by returning an object with the following shape: { renderedHtml, redirectLocation, error }. Make sure you use this function with `react_component_hash`.
681
252
 
682
- Rails has built-in protection for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), see [Rails Documentation](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#cross-site-request-forgery-csrf). To nicely utilize this feature in JavaScript requests, React on Rails provides two helpers that can be used as following for POST, PUT or DELETE requests:
253
+ For server rendering, if you wish to return multiple HTML strings from a generator function, you may return an Object from your generator function with a single top level property of `renderedHtml`. Inside this Object, place a key called `componentHtml`, along with any other needed keys. An example scenario of this is when you are using side effects libraries like [React Helmet](https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet). Your Ruby code will get this Object as a Hash containing keys componentHtml and any other custom keys that you added:
683
254
 
684
255
  ```js
685
- import ReactOnRails from 'react-on-rails';
686
-
687
- // reads from DOM csrf token generated by Rails in <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
688
- csrfToken = ReactOnRails.authenticityToken();
689
-
690
- // compose Rails specific request header as following { X-CSRF-Token: csrfToken, X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest }
691
- header = ReactOnRails.authenticityHeaders(otherHeader);
256
+ { renderedHtml: { componentHtml, customKey1, customKey2} }
692
257
  ```
693
258
 
694
- If you are using [jquery-ujs](https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs) for AJAX calls, then these helpers are not needed because the [jquery-ujs](https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs) library updates header automatically, see [jquery-ujs documentation](https://robots.thoughtbot.com/a-tour-of-rails-jquery-ujs#cross-site-request-forgery-protection).
695
-
696
- ## React Router
697
- [React Router](https://github.com/reactjs/react-router) is supported, including server-side rendering! See:

+ For details on using react_component_hash with react-helmet, see the docs below for the helper API and [docs/additional-reading/react-helmet.md](docs/additional-reading/react-helmet.md).
702
260
 
703
261
  ## Error Handling
262
+
704
263
  * All errors from ReactOnRails will be of type ReactOnRails::Error.
705
264
  * Prerendering (server rendering) errors get context information for HoneyBadger and Sentry for easier debugging.
706
265
 
707
- ## Caching and Performance
708
- Consider fragment and http caching of pages that contain React on Rails components. See [Caching and Performance](./docs/additional-reading/caching-and-performance.md) for more details.
266
+ ## I18n
709
267
 
710
- ## Deployment
711
- * React on Rails puts the necessary precompile steps automatically in the rake precompile step. You can, however, disable this by setting certain values to nil in the [config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb](./docs/additional-reading/rspec_configuration.md).
712
- * `build_production_command`: Set to nil to turn off the precompilation of the js assets.
713
- * `config.symlink_non_digested_assets_regex`: Default is nil, turning off the setup of non-js assets. This should be nil except when when using Sprockets rather than Webpacker.
714
- * See the [Heroku Deployment](./docs/additional-reading/heroku-deployment.md) doc for specifics regarding Heroku. The information here should apply to other deployments.
268
+ You can enable the i18n functionality with [react-intl](https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl). React on Rails provides an option for automatic conversions of Rails `*.yml` locale files into `*.js` files for `react-intl`. See the [How to add I18n](docs/basics/i18n.md) for a summary of adding I18n.

- The origins of the project began with the need to do a rich JavaScript interface for a ShakaCode's client. The choice to use Webpack and Rails is described in [Fast Rich Client Rails Development With Webpack and the ES6 Transpiler](http://www.railsonmaui.com/blog/2014/10/03/integrating-webpack-and-the-es6-transpiler-into-an-existing-rails-project/).

804
- The gem project started with [Justin Gordon](https://github.com/justin808/) pairing with [Samnang Chhun](https://github.com/samnang) to figure out how to do server rendering with Webpack plus Rails. [Alex Fedoseev](https://github.com/alexfedoseev) then joined in. [Rob Wise](https://github.com/robwise), [Aaron Van Bokhoven](https://github.com/aaronvb), and [Andy Wang](https://github.com/yorzi) did the bulk of the generators. Many others have [contributed](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/graphs/contributors).
287
+ Aloha, I'm Justin Gordon the creator and maintainer of React on Rails. I'm supporting my continued dedication to this project by project by offering a React on Rails **Pro Support Plan**. Please [email me](mailto:justin@shakacode.com) to see if I can help you.
