Ruby on Rails with React on Typescript using importmaps - DEV Community

With React and Rails, you can build a great application that has a fast, responsive, and dynamic user interface, as well as a robust and scalable back-end. Typescript adds strong typing, better tooling, and error checking to your code, making it more reliable and maintainable, especially when working with complex UIs in React. In the past, webpacker was commonly used to bring these components together, but now there is a simpler way to accomplish this, and in this article, I will demonstrate how to do so.In this tutorial, we will create a Rails application that displays a table of records from the database using React written in Typescript. While this approach is more complex than a traditional 'hello world' example, it allows us to explore aspects that are only visible when dealing with real-world data.
