What if we had Phlex::TUI as well as Phlex::HTML, Phlex::SVG and Phlex::CSV?

Phoebe's falling! But one quick grapple, and she can turn this around, for sure!

@rulei.bsky.social did a really good job on this dynamic pose for Phoebe!

I’m open-sourcing current progress on the Phlex validator. So far, I’ve done a quick first-pass of type signatures for each HTML element based on MDN docs.

There is no API at the moment as I haven’t worked out how people should include, configure or enable this yet.

We’re working on bringing fragment caching to Phlex soon.

Phlex will depend on a cache store interface that is compatible with Rails cache stores, but it will also provide its own in-memory first-in-first-out cache store.
Fragment caching by joeldrapper · Pull Request #834 · phlex-ruby/phlex
This PR introduces a new helper method in Phlex::SGML to support fragment caching. Example: cache @products do @products.each do |product| cache product do h1 { product.name } end ...

We finally decided Phlex should load its constants with Zeitwerk, which should give you better copy-on-write utilisation if you eager load all before forking workers in production.

It’s fun having “zero runtime dependencies” but this one was worth it. It’s a gem of a gem. github.com/phlex-ruby/p...

Phoebe is not impressed with you sharing the lore of FNAF unprompted

A joke sketch by Longius a few years ago, which I never stopped enjoying, fleshed out into a full piece!

I think there’s some confusion about Phlex, perhaps due to other libraries. 🤷‍♂️

Phlex has no dependencies. It’s ~2,150 lines of standard Ruby. It works with or without Rails. It’s safe, well tested, well maintained and has a thriving community.
Reading responses to my survey on instrumental.dev

Half say: "I hope it won't depend on ViewComponent or Phlex."

The other half: "It better use ViewComponent or Phlex."

🤷‍♂️

Official launch article for the Phlex on Rails video course.

Huge thanks to @joel.drapper.me for creating @phlex.fun. It was fun making the course for it.

I hope this inspires more people to use Phlex so we can all benefit from building UIs with components without React JS bloat.
