Overview:

Superglue offers a seamless way to develop React and Redux applications while leveraging the power of classic Rails. Designed as a natural extension of Rails, it removes the need for APIs and client-side routing, allowing developers to create feature-rich applications with the same efficiency and productivity that Rails is known for. By using Superglue, you can harness Rails’ built-in functionalities like form helpers, UJS, and more, all while enjoying the state management benefits of Redux and the component-based architecture of React.

With Superglue, building single-page applications (SPAs) becomes a straightforward and intuitive process. Its architecture promotes smooth navigation and easy updates without the complexities typically associated with traditional application development. As a lightweight solution, Superglue caters to developers looking to optimize their workflow while maintaining a robust application structure.

Features:

• No APIs Required: Superglue utilizes Rails’ ability to respond to multiple MIME types from the same route, eliminating the need for separate APIs for different data formats.
• Classic Rails Integration: Built to leverage Rails features like flash messaging and cookie authentication, Superglue retains the full functionality familiar to Rails developers.
• PropsTemplate: A powerful JSON templating DSL that lets you specify paths and navigate JSON responses efficiently, inspired by JBuilder for enhanced productivity.
• SPA Navigation: Easily implement page-to-page navigation without full reloads using built-in UJS attributes similar to Turbolinks, resulting in a smoother user experience.
• Easy Partial Updates: Simplifies the process of updating specific parts of the page (e.g., type-ahead search) with minimal overhead and straightforward integration with Redux state management.
• Server-Side Rendering Support: Comes equipped with capabilities for server-side rendering via Humid, enhancing the performance and SEO of applications.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Accessible resources provided for developers to explore features and functionalities, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.
