Decidim picks Shakapacker over jsbundling-rails

3 points by justin808 3y ago ↗ HN

A year ago, Decidim, OSS "participatory democracy framework built" on Rails planned to switch from webpacker to jsbundling-rails because that was the "official" Rails way. After one year, they are moving to Shakapacker. https://github.com/decidim/decidim/pull/10389

I'm the lead maintainer of Shakapacker and the creator of React on Rails. I could not figure out why some people wanted to reinvent webpacker on top of jsbundling-rails, per https://github.com/decidim/decidim/discussions/8783. I was thrilled to see https://github.com/decidim/decidim/pull/10389. I'm so happy that this wonderful open-source project, Decidim, will benefit from my open-source efforts.
