Introducing ReActionView: A ActionView-Compatible ERB Engine

After introducing Herb, the HTML-aware ERB parser at RubyKaigi in April, I’m now releasing ReActionView - a drop-in ActionView replacement bringing LiveView-style reactivity to Rails while maintaining HTML-over-the-wire philosophy.

This talk completes a trilogy by delivering the practical payoff: the ActionView-compatible ReActionView engine, built on Herb, the new Prism-powered HTML-aware ERB parser.

ReActionView maintains ActionView compatibility while bringing HTML-awareness and reactivity to HTML+ERB views.
