Building a Component Library in Rails With Storybook — Orbit Blog

In recent years, the Rails ecosystem improved by leaps and bounds and is catching up with the evolutions that developers use and love in JavaScript frameworks.Under the code name NEW MAGIC (now known as Hotwire), the Basecamp team released Turbo and Stimulus in 2020, adding powerful capabilities such as near-instant navigation, first-party WebSocket support, lazy-loading parts of your application, and many others.However, the Rails development I’m most excited about is the ability to build your own component library, powered by View Component and Storybook.A component library is a set of components (buttons, alerts, domain-specific widgets, etc.) that can be reused throughout the app, reducing the need for duplication and improving the consistency of our UX and codebase.
