#react_component(component_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

react_component_name: can be a React function or class component or a “Render-Function”. “Render-Functions” differ from a React function in that they take two parameters, the

props and the railsContext, like this:

let MyReactComponentApp = (props, railsContext) => <MyReactComponent {...props}/>;

Alternately, you can define the Render-Function with an additional property
`.renderFunction = true`:

let MyReactComponentApp = (props) => <MyReactComponent {...props}/>;
MyReactComponent.renderFunction = true;

Exposing the react_component_name is necessary to both a plain ReactComponent as well as
  a generator:
See README.md for how to "register" your React components.
See spec/dummy/client/app/packs/server-bundle.js and
  spec/dummy/client/app/packs/client-bundle.js for examples of this.

options:

props: Ruby Hash or JSON string which contains the properties to pass to the react object. Do
   not pass any props if you are separately initializing the store by the `redux_store` helper.
prerender: <true/false> set to false when debugging!
id: You can optionally set the id, or else a unique one is automatically generated.
html_options: You can set other html attributes that will go on this component
trace: <true/false> set to true to print additional debugging information in the browser
       default is true for development, off otherwise
replay_console: <true/false> Default is true. False will disable echoing server rendering
                logs to browser. While this can make troubleshooting server rendering difficult,
                so long as you have the default configuration of logging_on_server set to
                true, you'll still see the errors on the server.
raise_on_prerender_error: <true/false> Default to false. True will raise exception on server
   if the JS code throws

Any other options are passed to the content tag, including the id. random_dom_id can be set to override the default from the config/initializers. That’s only used if you have multiple instance of the same component on the Rails view.

#react_component_hash(component_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

react_component_hash is used to return multiple HTML strings for server rendering, such as for adding meta-tags to a page. It is exactly like react_component except for the following:

  1. prerender: true is automatically added, as this method doesn’t make sense for client only rendering.

  2. Your JavaScript Render-Function for server rendering must return an Object rather than a React component.

  3. Your view code must expect an object and not a string.

Here is an example of the view code:

<% react_helmet_app = react_component_hash("ReactHelmetApp", prerender: true,
                                           props: { helloWorldData: { name: "Mr. Server Side Rendering"}},
                                           id: "react-helmet-0", trace: true) %>
<% content_for :title do %>
  <%= react_helmet_app['title'] %>
<% end %>
<%= react_helmet_app["componentHtml"] %>

#redux_store(store_name, props: {}, defer: false, immediate_hydration: nil) ⇒ Object

Separate initialization of store from react_component allows multiple react_component calls to use the same Redux store.

NOTE: This technique not recommended as it prevents dynamic code splitting for performance. Instead, you should use the standard react_component view helper.

store_name: name of the store, corresponding to your call to ReactOnRails.registerStores in your

JavaScript code.

props: Ruby Hash or JSON string which contains the properties to pass to the redux store. Options

defer: false -- pass as true if you wish to render this below your component.
immediate_hydration: false -- React on Rails Pro (licensed) feature. Pass as true if you wish to
                    hydrate this store immediately instead of waiting for the page to load.

Place this view helper (no parameters) at the end of your shared layout. This tell ReactOnRails where to client render the redux store hydration data. Since we’re going to be setting up the stores in the controllers, we need to know where on the view to put the client side rendering of this hydration data, which is a hidden div with a matching class that contains a data props.

#rsc_payload_react_component(component_name, options = {}) ⇒ String

Note:

This helper requires React Server Components support to be enabled in your configuration: ReactOnRailsPro.configure do |config|

config.enable_rsc_support = true

end

Note:

You don’t have to deal directly with this helper function - it’s used internally by the

Renders the React Server Component (RSC) payload for a given component. This helper generates a special format designed by React for serializing server components and transmitting them to the client.

Example NDJSON stream:

{"html":"<RSC Payload>","consoleReplayScript":"","hasErrors":false,"isShellReady":true}
{"html":"<RSC Payload>","consoleReplayScript":"console.log('Loading...')","hasErrors":false,"isShellReady":true}

The RSC payload within the html field contains:

  • The component’s rendered output from the server

  • References to client components that need hydration

  • Data props passed to client components

‘rsc_payload_route` helper function. The returned data from this function is used internally by components registered using the `registerServerComponent` function. Don’t use it unless you need more control over the RSC payload generation. To know more about RSC payload, see the following link:

Examples:

Basic usage with a server component

<%= rsc_payload_react_component("ReactServerComponentPage") %>

With props and tracing enabled

<%= rsc_payload_react_component("RSCPostsPage",
      props: { artificialDelay: 1000 },
      trace: true) %>

Parameters:

  • component_name (String)

    The name of the React component to render. This component should be a server component or a mixed component tree containing both server and client components.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Options for rendering the component

Options Hash (options):

  • :props (Hash)

    Props to pass to the component (default: {})

  • :trace (Boolean)

    Enable tracing for debugging (default: false)

  • :id (String)

    Custom DOM ID for the component container (optional)

Returns:

  • (String)

    Returns a Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON) stream where each line contains a JSON object with:

    • html: The RSC payload containing the rendered server components and client component references

    • consoleReplayScript: JavaScript to replay server-side console logs in the client

    • hasErrors: Boolean indicating if any errors occurred during rendering

    • isShellReady: Boolean indicating if the initial shell is ready for hydration

Raises:

  • (ReactOnRailsPro::Error)

    if RSC support is not enabled in configuration

  # We fix this by replacing these unicode characters with their escaped versions.
  # This should be safe, as the only place they can appear is in strings anyway.

#stream_react_component(component_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Streams a server-side rendered React component using React’s ‘renderToPipeableStream`. Supports React 18 features like Suspense, concurrent rendering, and selective hydration. Enables progressive rendering and improved performance for large components.

Note: This function can only be used with React on Rails Pro. The view that uses this function must be rendered using the ‘stream_view_containing_react_components` method from the React on Rails Pro gem.

Example of an async React component that can benefit from streaming:

const AsyncComponent = async () =>

const data = await fetchData();
return <div>{data</div>;

};

function App() {

return (
  <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
    <AsyncComponent />
  </Suspense>
);

}

Any other options are passed to the content tag, including the id.

Parameters:

  • component_name (String)

    Name of your registered component

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Options for rendering

Options Hash (options):

  • :props (Hash)

    Props to pass to the react component

  • :dom_id (String)

    DOM ID of the component container

  • :html_options (Hash)

    Options passed to content_tag

  • :trace (Boolean)

    Set to true to add extra debugging information to the HTML

  • :raise_on_prerender_error (Boolean)

    Set to true to raise exceptions during server-side rendering
