Thanks Alessandro for the interesting read. I'm trying to follow your guide, but I'm stuck at the bit where it says
and add the following to webpacker.json. I started a new Rails app from scratch and I do not have such file (Rails 6).It's probably something obvious, but last time I had to work with frontend code, jQuery was still in fashion, so please bear with me!
It's webpacker.yml.
Nice read - although I am absolutely not sold on on this kind of stuff. I feel like DHH a decade ago ;) . One little improvement: the link to renuo should point to renuo.ch , I believe.
Thank you Felix! What do you mean exactly with "I am absolutely not sold on on this kind of stuff"?
It's a personal(!) thing: At the moment, I do not want to invest brain-mass and development-hours into modern Javascript-based functionality. I would have to write a lot to be understood - bottom line is probably: I hope to settle on tech that is still around without many changes in 5 years + my typical projects wouldnt benefit a lot from that.
Felix, moving to webpacker is not as hard as you think ;)
And regarding PWA, imagine:
You add a manifest, a service_worker and that's it!
Whenever someone opens your website in mobile he gets the "mobile app experience". That's a nice bargain!
Very good article. Thanks, Alissandro. I've done the implementation and it works well.
However there's one thing bothering me:
1) I "download" the PWA on mobile
2) I press "log in with google/github/etc"
3) I am redirected to the web browser to log in
4) After log in I stay in the browser version of the app (not redirect back to PWA)
How would you tackle redirecting back into the PWA after social login?
Great read!
Hi alessandro, great job with the gem, is there a way to use it with chunks-webpack-plugin?
@broger Did you ever end up finding a way to do this?
Hi Alessandro. Is this tutorial compatible with webpacker 6? I'm struggling hard with the webpacker configuration and can´t make it work...
thanks in advance!
