Created a Collection of Over 120 Rails Components Using Tailwind CSS and Stimulus—Share Your Thoughts and Suggestions for Future Builds

Introducing Rails Blocks: A Comprehensive Library of Over 120 UI Components for Ruby on Rails

Hello, fellow developers! Today, I am excited to share a project I’ve been meticulously working on—a versatile collection of over 120 UI components designed specifically for Ruby on Rails applications. This library leverages Tailwind CSS and Stimulus to deliver modern, reusable elements that can accelerate your development workflow.

Background and Motivation

Throughout the past year, I’ve been developing a series of UI components to enhance my personal projects and internal tools. Observing the vibrant ecosystem of component libraries available for frameworks like React and Vue, I often found myself wishing for similar resources tailored to Rails. This gap inspired me to create a comprehensive set of ready-to-use components that can seamlessly integrate into Rails applications, bringing a modern UI experience closer to the Rails community.

The Genesis of Rails Blocks

Initially, I started building modular elements—modal dialogs, dropdown menus, and other interactive components—gradually expanding my repository. My goal was to compile a collection comparable to popular frontend libraries, but optimized for Rails developers. After months of development and testing in production environments—serving platforms like SchoolMaker and Sponsorship.so—I’m proud to announce the launch of Rails Blocks Version 1.

Features at a Glance

  • Extensive Component Library: Over 120 UI components tailored for Rails projects.
  • Stimulus Integration: Robust, lightweight JavaScript interactions powered by Stimulus.
  • Tailwind CSS Styling: Built with Tailwind CSS v4 for a sleek, customizable look.
  • Easy Setup: Simply copy and paste to integrate into your projects.
  • Production-Ready: Used by real-world applications, ensuring reliability and stability.
  • Flexible Licensing: A blend of free and pro components to sustain ongoing development and support.

What’s Next?

I am eager to hear your thoughts on Rails Blocks and learn what features or components you’d like to see in future releases. Feedback from the Rails community is invaluable for shaping the direction of this project.
