Maybe it’s webpacker’s fault? Or maybe it’s Rails’ specific, opinionated usage of webpacker? The What Bugged Me About Webpacker section of this article by Nick Janetakis has the best explanation that I’ve found as to why Rails 5, 6, and JavaScript didn’t get along. The JavaScript and the Rails ecosystems have not gotten along very well recently. If you don’t need user authentication you can skip the Devise section.If you don’t need an administrative dashboard you can skip the Administrate section.If you know how to use Stimulus and/or importmap’ed NPM dependencies, you can skip the How To sections for those.If you’re a seasoned Rails developer, or frequent developer in the Ruby language ecosystem, you can most likely skip the entire Prerequisites section of this tutorial, and move right to the Creating The App section.If you already know why you like Rails 7 and Tailwind, or if you don’t care, then you can skip the Why Rails 7 and Tailwind? Section.Just be warned that some sections rely on code that might have been written in a previous section: Listed below are some skippable sections if you already have knowledge of certain technologies. This tutorial is not geared towards a completely new developer or programmer-it assumes basic knowledge and use of the terminal / command-line, an IDE, and probably dozens of other basic computer and software development skills. And if that’s you, I won’t be offended if you want to just skip around, or only read a certain section, like, “how to add an NPM package to your Rails 7 app”. Instead, my goal for the beginner is to introduce you to Rails 7, and give you some different tools that you can then use in your own way, for your own purposes, to continue building your own unique application.įor the more experienced Rails developer, this tutorial can be thought of as a collection of mini-tutorials. ![]() That being said, if you are a complete beginner, and you follow this tutorial from start to finish, it’s not going to leave you with a particularly useful application. ![]() This tutorial was written with the intent of being followable even if this is your first ever Rails application. So I’m writing my own tutorial!īefore moving forward, this is a pretty long tutorial, so I really do recommend reading the next section, How To Get The Most Out Of This Tutorial, so that I don’t accidentally waste your time. ![]() I also decided that I wanted to use Tailwind for styling (I’ve been using it for other projects recently, and I hate to admit it, but I’m beginning to buy into the hype just a little bit.)īut, using the resources already out there, my experience in getting the app set up was not as smooth as I had hoped for. Now that Rails 7 has been out for a while, I decided to try and get a basic Rails 7 application up and running.
