MountPoint
An (extremely) simple gem for creating JS component mount points.
MountPoint facilitates transferring data from a Rails controller to a JavaScript component by creating an intermediate DOM node that stores data in a data-props attribute.
MountPoint creates uniform DOM nodes to mount JavaScript components, but it does not mount the components. To mount components to MountPoint nodes use MountPoint Node package (Coming soon).
Usage
sample.html.erb:
<h1>Sample App</h1>
<%= mount_point('my_component_name', props: {foor: 'bar'}) %>
Rendered result:
<html>
...
<h1>Sample App</h1>
<div id='my_component_mount_point' data-props='{\"foo\":\"bar\"}'></div>
...
</html>
The JavaScript component can then me mounted to the node. The data-props attribute may be parsed as component props.
MountPoint does not handle mounting the JavaScript component. To mount components to MountPoint nodes use MountPoint Node package (Coming soon).
