James,
> I'd love it if we could have a full fledged SPA using only rails > views/templates/logic. You can! Best of all, without any APIs and with all the goodies of React. Here's a bit of self promotion: https://github.com/jho406/Breezy It also works like Turbolinks for easy SPA functionality. While Turbolinks requests the next page’s HTML and does a <body> replacement, Breezy requests the next page’s props (written using jbuilder-like syntax) and does a replacement in your redux state. No APIs needed, since, like Turbolinks, just reuses your routes. Here's a small visual of the end product views/ posts/ index.js.props index.jsx show.js.props show.jsx Breezy delegates the responsibility of markup to React and the responsibility of content (index.js.props) to Rails. You can do a lot of things like fragment deferment, fragment fetching, preload multiple pages in a single request, instaclick-ing. There also room for custom reducers when you need to do something more complicated.
