Video of "Frontend Ruby with Glimmer DSL for Web" at Ruby on Rio 2025-06-06
A video has been uploaded of the Ruby on Rio 2025-06-06 talk I gave:
"Frontend Ruby with Glimmer DSL for Web". It covers Glimmer DSL for
Web, the Frontend Ruby on Rails gem that won a Fukuoka Prefecture
Future IT Initiative 2025 award by Matz, the creator of Ruby.

Merry Christmas!

In response to your question:

Yes, of course. Glimmer DSL for Web is designed to be used in Rails
Views (ERB, HAML, or SLIM) via a Rails helper. You do so by utilizing
the glimmer_component Rails helper as documented here:

That lets you embed any Glimmer Frontend component inside a Rails View.

Here is an example of using it in a Rails sample app:

I do highly recommend that you go through all the samples of the
project to learn it well. It's the best way for learning the project
in addition to watching one or more of the project talk videos.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask here or at the
Glimmer Gitter chat (there are no stupid questions by the way):

awesome, thanks.

are there plans along the lines of "pure ruby"; that is, beyond or no more
templating (erb/etc), possibly pure glimmer. is that possible?

Yes. It is planned that Glimmer components would support Server Side
Rendering eventually, thus offering a replacement for ERB as pure Ruby
Views.

That would be in version 2 or 3 of the project in the future.
