What JS framework would be your first choise in Rails World 2015

[Taras Matsyk]

Hi everyone,

Just want to know your opinion on what JS framework better suites rails
world in 2015. Which one would you prefer and what advantages and
disadvantages it has?

Personally I found Angular good enough to work with and I ended up in a
mess with Ember (Ember CLI) which some people claimed to be the most
elegant solution for rich client side rails app.

Ember is richer and more full-featured, but is large & complex, and changing quickly.

Angular doesn't provide as much infrastructure, but definitely has a certain spartan elegance going for it.

Flux or Redux on top of React is one more option.

In my opinion, those are the top 3.

(Actually, I think a better question would be: is Rails right for the SPA web apps of 2015?)

So are you saying these three top choices for more than a single page app, but
question if Rails is appropropriate for a single page application (SPA)?

I am curious why you brought a specific group of application style into
the discussion. How would you change up your recommendation for a
multiple page application?

Well, I suppose I was being a bit loose in my phrasing, and used SPA when I was really referring to any web app where the rendering is done client-side, and the app server now just sends over data, instead of rendering pages.

I've tried Angular and Ember both. For some reason I haven't had much luck with learning them. I picked up React recently and I really like it. And it integrates nicely with my Rails apps.
