🤸‍♂️💰📝

Installing

Assumes a Rails 5.2+ application with Active Storage and Webpacker installed.

Install the gem:

# Gemfile
gem "actiontext", github: "basecamp/actiontext", require: "action_text"
gem "image_processing", "~> 1.2" # for Active Storage variants

Install the npm package:

// package.json
"dependencies": {
  "actiontext": "basecamp/actiontext"
}

$ yarn install

// app/javascript/packs/application.js
import "actiontext"

Migrate the database

./bin/rails active_storage:install
./bin/rails action_text:install
./bin/rails db:migrate

Declare text columns as Action Text attributes:

# app/models/message.rb
class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_rich_text :content
end

Replace form text_areas with rich_text_areas:

<%# app/views/messages/_form.html.erb %>
<%= form_with(model: message) do |form| %>
  …
  <div class="field">
    <%= form.label :content %>
    <%= form.rich_text_area :content %>
  </div>
  …
<% end %>
