RubyUI

Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.

This repository is a monorepo with two sibling projects:

ruby_ui/
├── gem/    # the ruby_ui gem (lib/, generators, tests, gemspec)
└── docs/   # the Rails app that powers https://rubyui.com

Quick links

Use the gem in your app: see gem/README.md.
Documentation site: https://rubyui.com/docs/introduction
Contributing guide: CONTRIBUTING.md

Layout

Path	What lives here
`gem/`	The `ruby_ui` gem (`gem build`, `gem release` from this folder).
`docs/`	Rails 8 app for the documentation site. Consumes the local gem via `path: "../gem"`.
`.github/workflows/ci.yml`	Unified CI: gem tests on Ruby 3.3 + 3.4, Rails docs app tests, and a docker-build job that publishes the docs devcontainer to ghcr.io.

Development

The two projects are independent for everyday work — pick the one you need:

# Gem work
cd gem
bundle install
bundle exec rake          # tests + standardrb

# Docs work (consumes the local gem via path: "../gem")
cd docs
bundle install
pnpm install
bin/dev                   # http://localhost:3000

Editing files under gem/lib/ruby_ui/ is reflected immediately when running the docs app — no bundle update, no rebuild, no PR coordination across two repos.
