Using Rails without Rails

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Demonstrates extracting Rails pieces and wiring them standalone: uses ActionView::LookupContext + ActionView::Renderer + ActionView::Context to render templates and rendered with layouts by adding two lines of includes, shows converting a resource into the view context (no controller) so helpers must be explicitly provided, integrates ActionView into a Webmachine resource, and uses the Journey router to route to different Rack apps; code runs and is published as gists.
