This is precisely what was always wrong with the “Rails philosophy”. Front end should be completely independent to any kind of backend. The level of integration proposed here is an absolute nightmare to maintain and extend.
- dvdhnt 9y agoIt’s not just a backend, Rails is a full stack framework - from database administration to data modeling, business logic to frontend. It literally has built in frontend templating in the form of erb. That said, I think that frontend development has evolved into a place where frontend development is better done separately. As part of its evolution, Rails integrated Rails API and can be configured minimally to be a backend API only.
