This rails project is simply a model of a modern rails app demoing how I (Jon Heslop) aspire us to build out the frontend of https://github.com/pusher/dash as we modernise it.

The project has live reloading of all changes.

To run the project run:

• rails server -e development to start rails
• ./bin/webpack-dev-server --watch --colors --progress to get live reloading of CSS/JS
• guard to run guard which looks for .rb/.erb and reloads the page (relies on the guard gem being installed too)

A component is a piece of our UI, a button for example. We are using partials as components, in a similar fashion to GOV.UK.

Although recently found out it would be better to use https://github.com/github/actionview-component. But until we upgrade to rails 5.2 this isn’t possible.

This project uses atomic CSS classes (each class, on the whole, represents one css property declaration). The system is based on https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-custom. The CSS is generated with PostCSS via Webpack.
