RailsConf 2022 - React-ing to Hotwire by David Hill

I was fully onboard with React as my front-end Javascript framework of choice for years. That all changed when I suddenly had to support a stand-alone React app that I had no hand in building. Thankfully Hotwire had just been released, and my manager was aware of how painful maintaining this application was going to be. So I started the process of migrating the React app into the Rails app, using Hotwire as the new front-end framework. How did it go, what lessons were learned, and would I do it again? _____________________________________________________________ Cloud 66 - Deploy your Rails code directly from your repo to any cloud in minutes.
