Finished migrating an Angular application to htmx.org and Spring ViewComponent together with my colleague:
Removed 5376 lines of Typescript
Added 2513 lines of Kotlin
28% decrease in overall lines of code.

There's 50 days until Christmas and I have 45 Phlex videos. How about a Phlex on Rails video advent calendar?
I'll do my best to post some videos from the Phlex course starting with "Why Phlex?" since the intro video is free. This one compares to ViewComponent if you're curious.

This video course teaches you how to use Phlex to build high quality Rails frontends that you can use with existing Erb apps or go all-in and build from the ground up with components. Phlex brings san...

A standard interface between components and controllers would be interesting for Phlex and ViewComponent.
I think Literal touches that and I took a swing with Superview.
It feels like `#render_in` is half the interface.

It would be fun to implement a ViewComponent add-on for Phlex, but once people get a taste of writing HTML in Ruby, the need for such a contraption melts away.

In case you missed last week's article, I wrote about Superview, a gem I made that renders Phlex and ViewComponent views for Rails that taps into the `method_for_action` controller method.

The next CFP I submitted is about building Rails apps from the ground up with ViewComponent and Phlex components.
The slides themselves are a Rails app built entirely out of Phlex components, which is open-source BTW if you want to build your RailsConf deck this way.

Not gonna lie, hoping to nerd snipe somebody on this one.
If you take the plunge, I suspect Phlex kits might be useful: github.com/phlex-ruby/p...
If somebody takes a swing at this and gets it working with ViewComponent, I'd be interested in merging it with Superview.

Technically it's not an XSS attack because `ViewComponent` doesn't exist and the example I provided absolutely won't run unless I change to `ViewComponent::Base`. 🤣
Pushing out this fix as I wonder why people still use Erb. 🤔
Thanks for pushing safe code examples that run. 🙏

Today I released Superview 1.0 and wrote about it at terminalwire.com/articles/sup...
It's how you can use Phlex and ViewComponent classes as actions in your Rails controllers without a bunch of boilerplate.
I use Superview in several of my production applications, including @terminalwire.com.

That’s what Superview is doing. There’s a few other interfaces to worry about with Superform, and I have no interest in building or maintaining ViewComponent support, but hopefully somebody else will without adding much overhead.

🤔 I suppose some people will say that Phlex is a weird DSL... so if you loooove Erb, you will absolutely hate what I'm cooking up unless I make it work with ViewComponent—I won't haha, but if somebody else contributes whatever I build should work for them.

I’ve seen enough Phlex component libraries to say that they’d benefit from this approach. I could see that helping other Ruby UI kits as well like PrawnPDF, ViewComponent, etc.
I think Configuration classes could benefit from this approach too.
Haven’t thought about much beyond that.

If you're not into stupid jokes, I've got something in the works where you can use ViewComponent or Phlex classes in a controller to render them without all the `def edit`, etc. boilerplate.
Follow the repo on Github and give it a star at github.com/rubymonolith... so you get updates when it lands.

Just for fun I got ViewComponent working in Superview: github.com/rubymonolith...
Should I troll ViewComponent and have the specs generate Phlex code? Should I keep `phlex` in `render phlex VCView` or change it to something neutral?

The ViewComponent library is better than what you get out of the box in Rails (partial templates, maybe Turbo Frames if you hate yourself), but man every time I have to use its API beyond the simplest case, I have a bad time. It's wild because some of the best DSLs I've ever used are Ruby.

The view part would be similar to be honest, the only thing is that you can encapsulate in methods some logic inside the viewcomponent class. The HTML+ERB part wouldn't change in both areas unless in your partial you add some ruby code inside it.
As I said, the advantage for me is unit testing

I wouldn’t consider viewcomponent as that because just write html + FORMAT, the advantage is that I can test unit the rendering logic that could contain that visual fragment. Same for trailblazer cells.

I've been building an app and dealing with different classes has been one of my main issues when using ViewComponent. This gem is exactly what I've been looking for! Looking forward to trying it out.
