## Notes

RubyUI is a Ruby gem whose generators copy UI components into a Rails app, so the component code lives in the app itself. The gem is added with bundle, and a Rails install command sets it up. Components are then added one at a time with a component generator. The docs describe the components as built on Phlex, Tailwind CSS and Stimulus, and the project was previously named PhlexUI.

The gem's README describes the project as a collection of reusable components to copy into an app.

## Worth knowing

The installation guide expects the app to use Tailwind CSS and Stimulus. The components are written in Phlex, a Ruby view layer.
