Description

Think JavaScript is your only option for the front-end? Think again. Hyperstack is a Ruby DSL, compiled by Opal, bundled by Webpack, powered by React.

Hyperstack lets you write your entire web app from HTML and event Handlers to the server models in Ruby. The resulting code is typically 1/4 the size of the equivalent HTML/JS/Ruby code.

Programming language: JavaScript

Hyperstack

Hyperstack is a Ruby-based DSL and modern web toolkit for building spectacular, interactive web applications fast!

• One language throughout the client and server. All Ruby code is compiled by Opal into JavaScript automatically.
• Webpacker and Yarn tooling for a modern, fast hot-reloader build environment with Ruby source maps.
• A well documented and stable Ruby DSL for wrapping React and ReactRouter as well as any JavaScript library or component. No need to learn JavaScript!
• Isomorphic Models with bi-directional data so you can access your models as if they were on the client.

This means you can write simple front-end code like this:

class GoodBooksToRead < HyperComponent
  render(UL) do
    Book.good_books.each do |book|
      LI { "Read #{book.name}" }
        .on(:click) { display book } if book.available?
    end
  end
end

In the code above, if the good_books scope changed (even on the server), the UI would update automatically. That's the magic of React and Isomorphic Models with bi-directional data at work!
