Introducing Rails Blocks: A Comprehensive Collection of 120+ UI Components for Rails Developers
Hello, fellow developers! Today, I’m excited to share a project I’ve dedicated the past year to—a versatile library of over 120 user interface components designed specifically for Ruby on Rails applications. Built with Tailwind CSS and Stimulus, Rails Blocks aims to streamline your development process and elevate your app’s visual appeal.
The Inspiration Behind Rails Blocks
As a passionate Rails developer, I regularly observed the thriving ecosystem of component libraries available to React and Vue users. Weekly, I’d see impressive UI kits launching that made me think, “Why isn’t there something similar for Rails?” Over time, I began developing my own components—from simple modals to complex dropdowns—building a curated collection that now rivals popular frontend frameworks.
After months of internal testing and refinement, I officially launched Rails Blocks, bringing a robust toolkit directly to Ruby on Rails developers seeking efficiency and elegance in UI design.
What Does Rails Blocks Offer?
Rails Blocks is a curated library of over 120 ready-to-use UI components optimized for Rails projects. Here’s what you can expect:
- Stimulus-powered interactions for dynamic, reactive UI elements
- Styling with Tailwind CSS version 4 for modern, responsive designs
- Ease of integration with simple copy-and-paste installation
- Proven stability, having been utilized in production environments such as SchoolMaker and Sponsorship.so
The product is currently in version 1, and I am eager to gather feedback from the community. Whether you’re looking for new components or have suggestions for improvements, your input is invaluable.
Supporting the Rails Community
Recognizing the diverse needs of developers, Rails Blocks offers a mix of free and premium components. This approach helps sustain ongoing development while ensuring the broader Rails community benefits from a rich, high-quality UI toolkit.
Are there specific components or features you’d like to see added? I’m all ears and looking forward to collaborating with fellow Rails enthusiasts to make this project even better.
