SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rails 7+ apps demand modern UI patterns, real-time updates, and clean architecture; this skill guides teams through Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, and API-first patterns to deliver maintainable, scalable Rails applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hotwire stack integration (Turbo Drive, Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams) with Stimulus for client-side behavior.
  • Modern Rails patterns: Service Objects, Form Objects, Query Objects, Decorators, and View Components.
  • Real-world use cases include real-time dashboards, migration of legacy Rails apps to modern patterns, and API-first Rails (JSON:API or GraphQL) integration.

Quick Start

Install the Rails Expert skill and start a new Rails 7+ app, then enable Turbo Frames and Stimulus to begin building real-time, server-rendered UI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement real-time UI updates in Rails 7 using Turbo and Stimulus?

To implement real-time UI in Rails 7, use Turbo Drive, Frames, and Streams for server-rendered updates, paired with Stimulus for client-side behavior. This Hotwire stack delivers dynamic interfaces without heavy JavaScript frameworks.

What are service objects and query objects in modern Rails architecture?

Service objects and query objects in Rails architecture extract business logic and database queries from controllers and models. They ensure maintainable, scalable code by isolating complex operations into dedicated, single-responsibility classes.

How do I migrate a legacy Rails application to modern Hotwire patterns?

Migrating legacy Rails to modern patterns involves replacing traditional request-response cycles with Turbo Frames and Streams, and adopting service objects. This transition enables real-time dashboards and scalable, server-rendered applications.

Can I build an API-first Rails backend with JSON:API or GraphQL?

Yes, you can build API-first Rails backends supporting JSON:API or GraphQL. This approach integrates seamlessly with modern frontend tools while maintaining clean architecture through form objects, decorators, and view components.

When should I use View Components and Decorators in Rails?

Use View Components and Decorators in Rails when isolating presentation logic and complex view rendering. They pair effectively with service objects to maintain clean architecture across scalable, server-rendered applications.
