Very in depth, clearly written how-to on efficient and quite elegant integration of Rails and Node packages via Webpack. Sure it may be going outside a vanilla Rails setup but it still follows Rails (Ruby) philosophies by being elegant and modular.
Agreed, love the detail. And they even dropped the source code at the end to let me play around with it. Going to have to give this a try to see if the setup is worth the time versus just plugging in an existing javascript framework. ES6 has no bounds.
As someone who has been using Rails for a long time, being able to leverage some of the JS frameworks within that universe is huge. I know DHH has a different approach, but this article helps show how to go off the reservation.
