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!

Thank you. 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. > **路路路** > > On Thu, Jan 11, 2024 at 1:42 AM botp via ruby-talk \< ruby-talk@ml.ruby-lang.org\> wrote: > > > Wed, Jan 10, 2024 at 9:18 AM Andy Maleh via ruby-talk \< > > ruby-talk@ml.ruby-lang.org\> wrote: > > > > > its 0.2.2 Beta Release! > > > > > > [GitHub - AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-web: Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web GUI Frontend Library)](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-web) > > > > totally wicked ! --the incredibles 馃檪 > > > > since most of my apps are rails-driven, ' would love to see more > > rails-related examples, eg, replacing rails default scaffolding with pure > > glimmer. > > > > thanks for glimmer, > > --botp > > > > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > > ruby-talk mailing list -- ruby-talk@ml.ruby-lang.org > > To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-talk-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org > > ruby-talk info -- > > [Info | ruby-talk@ml.ruby-lang.org - ml.ruby-lang.org](https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-talk.ml.ruby-lang.org/) > > -- > Andy Maleh > > LinkedIn: [Andy Maleh - Lexop | LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymaleh) > \<[https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymaleh>](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymaleh>); > Blog: [http://andymaleh.blogspot.com](http://andymaleh.blogspot.com) > GitHub: [AndyObtiva (Andy Maleh) 路 GitHub](http://www.github.com/AndyObtiva) > Twitter: @AndyObtiva \<[https://twitter.com/AndyObtiva>](https://twitter.com/AndyObtiva>); ---

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 > **路路路** > > On Fri, Jan 12, 2024 at 12:39 AM Andy Maleh via ruby-talk \< ruby-talk@ml.ruby-lang.org\> wrote: > > > Thank you. > > > > Glimmer DSL for Web IS a Rails project.
