Pretty good introduction to using React with Rails here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW9qgIYfzEI

With the advent of ES6; writing JS code, and React in particular has become a joy for me. I've gone from a typical Rubyist attitude of "EWWWWW JAVASCRIPT" to "OH HELL YEAH JAVASCRIPT*".

*React

My personal favourite feature of ES6: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/05/es6-in-depth-destructuring/

I read the slug of that link as "es6 deep destructuring" where you can do this:

const {
  ancestor: {
    parent: {
      child: {
        body
      }
    }
  }
} = largeObj;

which assigns body to largeObj.ancestor.parent.child.body... which is cool... but ill-advisable 😛
