Create a React-Rails App Example

This is working example for the Today I Learned How to Create a React-Rails App blog post.

Quickstart

Install Docker and then build the containers by running the following command:

docker-compose build web

After the containers are built you need to update the yarn dependencies and create the databases:

docker-compose run web bash

yarn install
rake db:create
exit

You can test if everything is working correctly by running the container and navigating to localhost:3000. You should see the "Welcome to Rails" page if everything is working correctly.

docker-compose up web
