ViewComponent
Ruby framework for building reusable, encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails applications.
viewcomponent.orgrepositorydocs
ViewComponent is a Ruby framework for building reusable, encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails. A component is a Ruby class that wraps a template, and the getting-started guide installs the gem with a Gemfile entry. The project tests it against ERB, Haml and Slim templates, and translations use a sidecar YAML file.
The ViewComponent Team maintains the gem, and the repository belongs to the ViewComponent organization on GitHub.
Worth knowing
The homepage says version 4 is in Long-Term Support and considered feature-complete.
