Ruby on Rails

It takes a monorepo approach, with the front-end JS code next to the back-end Rails. To integrate, it simply has the JS build (uses Parcel) output the transpiled, bundled javascript into the Rails assets/javascripts directory. It names the output without a fingerprint, because Rails asset pipeline will add one.

The idea was to keep it as simple as it can possibly be and have it work cleanly. It doesn't use the react-rails gem. It doesn't use separate repositories or servers. All of these gymnastics for scale are aspirational. Few projects ever reach the point of scale, especially when bogged-down in the gymnastics.

I'm going to rebuild my rails app and maybe add react on the front end.    I forget which version of rails I'm using, but I guess it would be best to start over with the latest.

Does anyone know of boilerplate or template that would include starting an app with the react & rails?  (maybe some other useful gems as well)

Thanks,
