Last September, I gave a talk titled "Intro To Ruby in the Browser" about
how to use Ruby for Frontend Development in Rails as a complete replacement
for JavaScript as per Matz's RubyConf 2022 Keynote Speech. I concluded the
talk by mentioning a then up and coming project called Glimmer DSL for Web
that would make Ruby in the Browser the simplest, most intuitive, most
straight-forward, and most productive Software Engineering experience in
Frontend Development in any Programming Language or Technology. Well, The
future is now! Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web GUI Frontend
Library) just had its 0.2.2 Beta Release!
Continue reading blog post article at :
GitHub Repo for Glimmer DSL for Web ( Ruby in the Browser Web GUI Frontend
Library ) :
Glimmer DSL for Web IS a Rails project. The Setup instructions mention how
to configure the project gem for a Rails application. All the examples
mentioned on the project page were run in Rails (check the Hello,
glimmer_component Rails Helper! sample for how to integrate a Glimmer Web
Component with any existing Rails view). This project is about the Frontend
part of a Rails application, which can talk to the Backend via REST API
calls or any other Frontend-Backend communication mechanisms. As far as
automatically replacing Rails scaffolding with pure Glimmer, this can be
considered for a post-1.0 version. Still, the project is feature-complete
as far as adding interactive Frontends to a Rails app today. It does not
need any extra features to get started with implementing fully interactive
Rails Frontends in Ruby.

rails-related examples, eg, replacing rails default scaffolding with pure

thanks for glimmer,

ah, thank you for the very clear overview of glimmer as it relates to
rails. I guess i should really get my hands dirty here. for the record, my
view/frontend templates are just plain (html|js).erbs w very minimal
javascript; just riding on rails's CoC (convention over configuration). i
try to avoid js (or rather, focus mainly on ruby) as much as possible; it
makes me do more projects clearly and speedily (since im a loner and do all
full-stack).
best regards --botp
