¹: I know. Who cares? Who is this Gerald Bauer anyway. A random nobody for sure. It just happens that I am the admin among other things of Planet Ruby.

« Ruby Glimmer Days 2021, January 26th to January 29th - 4 Days of Ruby (Desktop) Gems

Day 4 - glimmer-dsl-opal Gem - Script Web Widgets with Two-Way Data-Binding - Ruby <3 JavaScript - Thanks to Opal, the Ruby to JavaScript Source-to-Source Compiler

Written by AndyObtiva Andy Maleh

Software Engineering Expert from Montreal, Quebec. Creator of Glimmer and Abstract Feature Branch. Speaker at RailsConf, RubyConf, AgileConf, EclipseCon, EclipseWorld.

What’s Glimmer for Opal on Rails?

Glimmer for Opal is a gem that enables building web apps in ruby via Opal running on rails.

Use in one of two ways:

Glimmer for Opal successfully reuses the entire Glimmer core domain-specific language engine in Opal inside a web browser, and as such inherits the full range of powerful Glimmer desktop two-way data-binding capabilities for the web.

Principles

Live Development

Glimmer for Opal is a new project in live development and is undergoing many changes due to its highly unusual and imaginative nature. As such, I am currently welcoming of feedback and ideas for the project, the more radical and innovative the better. It is time to upend the inferior javascript framework era as we know it!

Getting Started Samples

Glimmer for Opal comes with many samples, including:

Hello, World!

include Glimmer

shell {
  text 'Glimmer'
  label {
    text 'Hello, World!'
  }
}.open

Hello, Table!
