Their opinion is coffeescript + turbolinks, which turn out to be the first two defaults developers change.

  I mean something like Typescript with an opinionated library/framework for client-side part.

    Okay, I have lots of good news for you. First, CoffeeScript is formally deprecated. Turbolinks sucked, but Turbolinks 5 is an entirely new beast and it rocks. You need to give it a second look. I recommend this talk, sped up to 1.5x: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWEts0rlezA&t=3m22s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWEts0rlezA&t=3m22s Finally, there absolutely is an opinionated client library that is designed to pair beautifully with Turbolinks 5. It's called Stimulus and it rocks. https://stimulusjs.org/ https://stimulusjs.org/ You can play with all of these frameworks using the --webpack parameter: rails new future --skip-sprockets --skip-coffee --webpack=stimulus --database=postgresql --skip-test As a bonus for anyone starting a new Rails project today, you're going to want to bookmark https://gist.github.com/andyyou/834e82f5723fec9d2dc021fb7b819517 https://gist.github.com/andyyou/834e82f5723fec9d2dc021fb7b81... Let me know if you have any questions.

      Thanks, it's an almost complete guide. But there's one important missing piece: Universal routing. How about taking the routing config which can be applied for both server and client ?
      • peteforde 8y ago
        If you're talking about React-style routing via navigation or whatever, then yeah, you need to evaluate what's best for you. One reason I love Stimulus + Turbolinks 5 is that you don't have to think in terms of client-side routing.

  Turbolinks works fine with VueJS.
