Component Driven UI with ViewComponent gem
summary
Describes using the ViewComponent gem with Rails and Tailwind to replace tangled partials/helpers, cutting repeated UI logic into reusable classes with slots, render_many and a custom component helper. Shows concrete builds: filter form builder, stats, page header and a configurable table pattern used across 20–30 components. Integrates previews via Lookbook, avoids extra JS, and uses a fallback_fetch + error reporting strategy that raises in dev/tests but returns safe defaults in production.
