Running the rails -h command yields a comprehensive suite of Rails' scripts called generators.
A generator script creates a directory, and populates it with the necessary files for serving a modern web application.
Included in the list of generators from running rails -h will be the new command.
Here is the script used to generate this application:
rails new rails_react -d postgresql -j esbuild -c bootstrap -T
This application uses a PostgreSQL database, and the default database configuration values.
rails db:create
Start the application in the browser on http://localhost:3000 by running bin/dev.
Rails provides an alternative bin/dev script bin/rails serve which uses the commands in Procfile.dev.
The following command installs the necessary packages with Yarn: yarn add react react-dom react-router-dom.
Note: React builds the user interface, ReactDOM enables interaction between React and the browser DOM, React Router handles the navigation.
This application was created by following this tutorial.
