Create dry-view-rails integration gem #114

Closed timriley closed 2 years ago

timriley commented 5 years ago

We have an examples/rails/ example app in this repo, which demonstrates a very barebones integration. For better usage within Rails, we need a dry-view-rails integration gem providing a railtie, support for conventional paths, template/code reloading, etc.

To get started, you could copy the structure of the dry-system-rails gem.

I think one major roadblock to this is the missing support in tilt for blocks in ERB and HAML templates. As far as I understood from my questions in this direction it would be a big effort to make the renderer of dry-view pluggable so it could be exchanged with the Rails renderer. Parts of Rails view helpers are not usable without block support. Implementing block support for other renderers is far from trivial.

Just wanted to point out that an alternative way of integrating dry-view in rails is just ditching both the view layer and the controller layer. Ok, ok, maybe you can't say "integrate" here because you are just replacing, but responsibilities in rails between the request/response cycle manager and the template system are quite entangled, so I think it makes sense and it is relevant here.

A nice way to do so is using web_pipe + dry_view (disclaimer: I'm web_pipe developer). Here it is a short description on how to do so (only the beginning of the article, at the end it is about integrating web_pipe itself with action_view):
