Rails 7 introduces new tools for the the default interaction between Rails and front end JavaScript and CSS. Out with Webpacker, in with importmaps and tailwindcss-rails. Or jsbundling-rails and cssbundling-rails. Out with Sprockets, in with Propshaft. It seems confusing, but the new tools are simpler to use and manage than the old ones. In this workshop, attendees will build a Rails 7 program using the new tooling, building up to using Hotwire to augment a Rails view. We’ll explore why the new tools exist, and how they can improve your relationship with JavaScript building and developing.
