Komponent
An opinionated component-based architecture for organizing front-end code in Ruby on Rails applications.
What is Komponent?
Komponent is a Ruby gem that provides an opinionated, component-based architecture for organizing front-end code in Ruby on Rails applications. It structures UI components into self-contained folders with associated Ruby modules, templates, stylesheets, and JavaScript, helping teams build maintainable and scalable front-ends. It integrates seamlessly with Rails' asset pipeline via Webpacker and supports modern tools like Stimulus.js.
Rails developers and teams looking to adopt a structured, component-based approach to front-end development within their Rails applications, especially those working on large-scale projects with complex UIs.
Developers choose Komponent because it brings the benefits of component-based architecture—like reusability, separation of concerns, and easier testing—to Rails without requiring a full JavaScript framework. Its tight integration with Rails conventions, built-in styleguide, and support for Stimulus.js make it a pragmatic choice for enhancing front-end organization.
