Unlocking Robust UI Components for Rails with Rails Blocks

Hello, fellow developers!

I’m Alex, a passionate Rails enthusiast dedicated to enhancing the frontend experience within Ruby on Rails applications. Over the past year, I’ve been developing a comprehensive library of over 120 UI components, seamlessly integrated with Tailwind CSS and Stimulus. Today, I’m excited to share this resource with the broader Rails community and invite your feedback and suggestions for future development.

The Inspiration Behind Rails Blocks

Observing the vibrant ecosystem surrounding React and Vue, I noticed the wealth of polished component libraries available for those frameworks. It often left me thinking, “Why isn’t there something similar for Rails?” This motivated me to start creating modular, reusable UI components tailored specifically for Rails developers, starting small with individual modals and dropdowns, then gradually expanding into a full-fledged collection.

What You Can Find in Rails Blocks

Rails Blocks is a curated set of over 120 UI components crafted with Rails in mind:

  • Powered by Stimulus for dynamic interactions

  • Styled with Tailwind CSS Version 4 for modern aesthetics

  • Easy to install with simple copy-and-paste setup

  • Proven in production environments, including projects like SchoolMaker and Sponsorship

Building and refining Rails Blocks has been a rewarding journey, culminating in the release of Version 1 just a few days ago.
