Requirements
About the Project
Our
client came to us with an existing application built in Ruby on Rails
and EmberJS. In the new application we are building for them, we are
using Rails webviews to serve the majority of the content to the
primarily mobile experience. In addition to the Rails views, we're also
using Turbo Native and Strada components to bridge the Rails views and
native components. For this project, we need help with that middle
ground – ensuring the Rails, Swift, and Strada/Turbo Native elements all
play nicely together.
Importantly: We do have a technical lead who can answer and help with tough questions!
The tasks involved in this project will likely include:
- Integrating Turbo Native with Rails views to enhance the mobile app and ensure smooth web-to-mobile transitions.
- Optimizing Hotwire for responsive HTML updates in the web and mobile apps.
- Developing Strada components to add real-time features with WebSockets and improve interactivity using Stimulus.
- Troubleshooting and fixing integration issues; conducting thorough testing to ensure system robustness.
