  **Project Objective**: To provide an opinionated and optimal framework for integrating Ruby on Rails with modern JavaScript tooling and libraries, including [**Webpack**](http://webpack.github.io/), [**Babel**](https://babeljs.io/), [**React**](https://facebook.github.io/react/), [**Redux**](https://github.com/reactjs/redux), [**React-Router**](https://github.com/reactjs/react-router). This differs significantly from typical Rails architecture. When considering what goes into **react_on_rails**, we ask ourselves, is the functionality related to the intersection of using Rails and modern JavaScript? If so, then the functionality belongs right here. In other cases, we're releasing separate npm packages or Ruby gems. If you are interested in implementing React using traditional Rails architecture, see [react-rails](https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails).

- 1. Props that you pass in the view helper of either `react_component` or `redux_store`
251
- 2. Rails contextual information, such as the current pathname. You can customize this in your config file.
266
+ ### Generator Functions
267
+ Why would you create a function that returns a React component?
268
+
269
+ 1. You need access to the `railsContext`. See documentation for the railsContext in terms of why you might need it.
270
+ 1. You may want the ability to use the passed-in props to initialize a redux store or set up react-router
271
+ 1. You may want to return different components depending on what's in the props.
272
+
273
+ ReactOnRails will automatically detect a registered generator function. Thus, there is no difference between registering a React Component versus a "generator function."
252
274
 
253
- This information (`props` and `railsContext`) should be the same regardless of either client or server side rendering.
275
+ 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 }.
276
+
277
+ 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:
278
+ { renderedHtml: { componentHtml, customKey1, customKey2} }
279
+
280
+ ### Rails Context and Generator Functions
281
+ 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:
282
+
283
+ 1. `props`: Props that you pass in the view helper of either `react_component` or `redux_store`
284
+ 2. `railsContext`: Rails contextual information, such as the current pathname. You can customize this in your config file.
285
+
286
+ 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.
287
+
288
+ 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.
254
289
 
255
- While you could manually pass the `railsContext` information in as "props", the `rails_context` is a convenience because it's passed consistently to all invocations of generator functions.
290
+ For example, suppose you create a "generator function" called MyAppComponent.
291
+
292
+ ```js
293
+ import React from 'react';
294
+ const MyAppComponent = (props, railsContext) => (
295
+ <div>
296
+ <p>props are: {JSON.stringify(props)}</p>
297
+ <p>railsContext is: {JSON.stringify(railsContext)}
298
+ </p>
299
+ </div>
300
+ );
301
+ export default MyAppComponent;
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ *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.*
256
305
 
257
306
  So if you register your generator function `MyAppComponent`, it will get called like:
258
307
 
259
308
  ```js
260
309
  reactComponent = MyAppComponent(props, railsContext);
261
310
  ```
262
- and for a store:
311
+
312
+ and, similarly, any redux store always initialized with 2 parameters:
263
313
 
264
314
  ```js
265
315
  reduxStore = MyReduxStore(props, railsContext);
266
316
  ```
267
317
 
268
- Note, you never make these calls. This is what React on Rails does when either server or client rendering. You'll be defining functions that take these params and return a React component or a Redux Store.

+ #### Why the railsContext is only passed to generator functions
343
+ 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:

345
+ ```js
346
+ import React from 'react';
347
+ import AppComponent from './AppComponent';

- ## Setup of React on Rails with Node.js Server Rendering
8
- **Warning: this is an experimental feature.**
9
-
10
- * Every time the webpack bundle changes, you have to restart the server yourself.
11
-
12
- To do this you need to add a few files and then configure react_on_rails to use NodeJS. Here are the relevant files to add.
13
-
14
- Node server rendering allows you to use separate NodeJS process as a renderer. The process loads your configured server_bundle_js file and then executes javascript to render the component inside its environment. The communication between rails and node occurs
15
- via a socket (`client/node/node.sock`)
16
-
17
- ### Getting started
18
-
19
- ### Configuration
20
-
21
- #### Update the React on Rails Initializer
22
-
23
- To use node process just set `server_render_method = "NodeJS"` in `config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb`. To change back
24
- to ExecJS set `server_render_method = "ExecJS"`
25
-
26
- ```ruby
27
- # app/config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb
28
- config.server_render_method = "NodeJS"
29
- ```
30
-
31
- You need to configure the name of the server bundle in two places:
32
-
33
- 1. JavaScript: Change the name of server bundle and adjust yarn start script in `client/node/package.json`
34
- 2. Ruby: The configured server bundle file is defined in `config/react_on_rails.rb`, and you'll have a webpack file that creates this. You maybe using the same file for client rendering.
35
-
36
- ```ruby
37
- # This is the file used for server rendering of React when using `(prerender: true)`
38
- # If you are never using server rendering, you may set this to "".
39
- # If you are using the same file for client and server rendering, having this set probably does
40
- # not affect performance.
41
- config.server_bundle_js_file = "webpack-bundle.js"
42
- ```
43
-
44
- And in `client/node/package.json`
45
-
46
- ```javascript
47
- // client/node/package.json
48
- {
49
- "name": "react_on_rails_node",
50
- "version": "0.0.0",
51
- "private": true,
52
- "scripts": {
53

- },
55
- "dependencies": {
56
- }
57
- }
58
- ```
59
-
60
- And you'll need this file: `client/node/server.js`
61
-
62

63
