Frontend Joy in Ruby on Rails
summary
ViteRails integration (vite_ruby) lets Rails proxy to a non-blocking Vite dev server that uses Rollup for bundling and esbuild for fast transforms, adds CSS code splitting and preload directives, and provides HMR that updates styles and preserves component state — an example shows changes pushed over a session with 2051 errors fixed without full reloads. It emits a production manifest, extends assets:precompile to output to public, and offers auto build so assets rebuild on change; claims are concrete: much faster incremental HMR than webpack.
