Calling components without RubyUI module

[dmarcoux]

Hey,

I am currently looking into using RubyUI and I've started watching this introduction video. In the video, we can see how RubyUI components are rendered in a Phlex view by simply calling them without the RubyUI module, so Heading instead of RubyUI::Heading. How can you achieve this? I've generated the Phlex views and RubyUI components just like in the video with the Rails generators. So my generated RubyUI components are also under app/components/ruby_ui. I wonder why it works in the video, but not for me since we seem to have the exact same setup.

Thank you!

Hey @dmarcoux, not sure if you've figured this out already, but that works because RubyUI adds some custom configuration to Rails autoload and uses Phlex::Kit.

Take a look at the config/initializers/ruby_ui.rb file and the official Phlex docs https://www.phlex.fun/components/kits.

Hey @matiasleidemer,

thank you for your comment. I ended up using something else, but this is nevertheless good to know if I use RubyUI in another project. I see that config/initializers/ruby_ui.rb seems to be generated by the install command (rails g ruby_ui:install). At least, according to this documentation page. I wonder if it was generated in July when I gave RubyUI a try.
