This is an example Rails app with a React frontend using Inertia.js to glue the two parts together. It uses Vite to bundle the JavaScript and deliver it the asset pipeline.
The app features a basic CRUD interface for managing articles.
It demonstrates:
- Rendering React pages with data from the Rails app
- Client side routing based on regular Rails routes
- Updating resources using regular controller methods using
Inertia.post, etc. - Rendering Active Record validations in the React app
- Sharing data between Rails and React apps (flash messages)
- Setting page titles using Inertia's
<Head />component
You'll need to have Ruby, Node.js and PostgreSQL available.
